I bought one. I see that it sold out today. It'll take an age for them to post it out now. Wondering what the other 2 silver coins this year will look like and what will the mintage be?

Genuine question - why do most people buy coins/other items produced specially for the collectors' market? Is it for their intrinsic interest or in the hope of making a killing?

I bought two to frame under a signed picture. Rory has a huge following. It was a certainty they were going to sell out. I have to admit it was quick though.

If it's called a collectible, collectors are not interested.

Well I collect Rory memorabilia and I was interested.

That's my thought too, but then I suppose collecting specially produced collectables is another variant of the collecting bug.
