gxseries Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 A bit toooooooo early but who knows what people are buying straight off the mint or from circulation. Show us your great coins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneydog Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I seen a couple of coins a person dug up using a metel detector. They are a 1934 Walking liberty and a 1907 dime and to come out of the ground they are in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Too early? Nevvah. I already got, a few days ago, the 2008 coins that I ordered from the Royal Mint (UK): The annual set including the £2 commem, and the Elizabeth I silver piece. See http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=17278 Also, Cyprus and Malta now use the euro, and of course the "2008" coins that became legal tender yesterday were made in '07. But they have been available (starter kits) since mid-December, and a fellow collector allowed me to hold a Malta euro coin in my hands for a brief moment last year. Does that count too?

Fatcat Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have the Cyprus 2008 coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have my "last of old" set ordered from the Royal Mint, no idea when they will arrive. Ordered before I realised there was a whole 2008 set on offer (with £2 coins) but oh well. Really wanted to get a starter pack of Cyprus and Malta euro coins, we know people in Cyprus but I don't know if they would be willing to hold onto a set for us, also like to get a set of the old ones before they are finally removed from circulation. Anywhere UK based I can get the starter packs? Interesting fact I recently heard about Cyprus changeover, since the UK still has a few bases over there. It now means that the Euro circulates and is fully accepted on UK sovereign territory! (if only, a small area ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 1989 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Quite a few actually: Cyprus Euro Set Malta Euro Set UK "Last of the Old" set UK "Uncirulated" Set UK Charles 60th £5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if only, a small area ) That is right - and EUObserver.com, though usually somewhat euroskeptical, could just not resist the temptation, it seems: Britain also introducing the euro (a headline roughly in the middle of this http://euobserver.com/9/25384 article) As for the UK "Charles" £5 coin, well, that one I do not find that attractive. A royal portrait, so to say, on either side, hmm. But the Elizabeth I coin looks neat. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Yes it's an alright coin I got it more to see what coins with Charles (William V) could look like with his portrait on. I'll be purchashing the Elizabeth I one next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristofer Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I really want an '08 silver eagle proof. I also want to get a panda (I don't care what year as long as it's a good looking one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I already have one: Hope to get the rest of the new Kyrgyzstani coins soon, and I'm also eagerly waiting for this years circulating coins of Russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 "The Oklahoma state quarters will enter circulation on Jan. 28, 2008. On that same date, consumers and coin collectors can purchase Oklahoma Quarter Bags and Rolls from the US Mint." From: http://www.coinnews.net/2008/01/10/oklahom...-gate-yet-3936/ It of course will obviously take some time before you see that coin. I don't believe it's like the presidential series in which they are already at the bank on the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Picked up 2 rolls of the 2008 Monroe dollars this afternoon from my bank! One roll will basically be used for trading, with a few left over, and the other for spending. So one else has gotten any 2008 coins yet???

Scottishmoney Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I got the 2008 €10 from Germany weeks ago, but only this last week did I get some 2008 quarters in change in W. Palm Beach Fl. I promptly spent them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomD Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 How about the new bullion coin from the Austrian Mint, the 1 oz Silver Philharmoniker? It's a spitting image of the gold coin by the same name. The 2008 Kookaburra is nice. Lastly, the Perth Mint is starting a new Lunar series starting with the 2008 Year of the Mouse. There a some nice 2008 coins out there. I've still got several to go. Pictures by me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no 08 Euros in Italy or Germany. and kudos to QXseries for beating me to starting this thread back on Jan 1st. I had started them the last couple of years Ciao, AWACS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 About a month ago I picked some of the new DE 2008 €2 commems (Hamburg) up at the Bundesbank - those were "technically" my first '08 euros. And yesterday I got one of those as change at a gas station in Neuss - "practically" the first one. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 So have any banks gotten rolls of anything besides the PD's? Mine are always behind the times so I haven't exactly checked recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
