Dave Kane Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've recently discovered that there are a lot of coins and medals included in first day of issue stamp envelopes from around the world and some are not to badly priced does anyone collect these? If you do are there any that would be more collectable than others? I've got some distributed by Mercury they seem to be quite common and I have seen some distributed by Benson. Most have an issue number on the envelope I know that will be for the number of envelopes issued and not the coins does anyone know what he maximum issue figures are for these envelopes. My main coin/medal collecting theme is the Royal Family. Hope this is not to vague thanks for any information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think I know what you're talking about - I believe the US did them for the state quarters. But I do not actively collect them myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Kane Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I've bought a couple more. 200 years since the birth of William Wyon. http://www.neocollect.com/item/8331/ Centenary of the Royal Navy Submarines. http://www.neocollect.com/item/8332/ There are quite a few others and some with coins and medals by different company's but I'm going to stick to the Royal Mint Mail issues as I have some produced by a Mercury distribution company with coins on and there are loads of them and I feel you have to try and draw the line somewhere when collecting.
