Coins!!!

Need some help getting hold of some coins ..... a collection in a presentation pack would be perfect, like a £5 coin, £2 coin, £1, 50p etc etc  I rang the post office, they do one for just under £14 .... great I thought, but the value of the coins in only £3 ::)

any ideas of where to get them from???

Just did a little research and a Uncirculated or any 1997 Coin Set would be perfect .....   :)
I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

I thunk I've made you think for a minute!

    You'll have to watch out for huge price rises near the end of the auction, a lot of collectors use those sniper bid things.

    Have tried the Royal Mint site, but they say orders have to be in by the 10th Dec :(

    And I am in SE London :( can't get to wales ...

    Think I will try and get hold of a folder, fill it with some coins so that way she can keep them all together and off she goes on a collection hunt ;D

    I thought there would have been loads of coin folders around ???
