I think I know a man who knows all about F15 Privy coins, he might also tell me where he has got this years from with a bit of luck @Alun

I've still yet to pick up a 2019 F15, prices are still a little high so am waiting a while as they will come down, just have to wait for people to break the sets.

Always more difficult as a 10k mintage,  I do agree there have been an awful lot of privys with the kooks, but that's why I collect, to get them all , got plenty of Generic stuff and weight to off set my premium collections, but you cant beat adding to sets and searching out the more difficult coins to find. It's what it's all about 😁

Nice silver, I noticed your a sun hater, is that cos your a Liverpool supporter or just hate the stories about hillsborough?....I knew they almost made the sun unsellable in Liverpool after calling the fans pickpockets....which even for the sun was disgusting.

All of the above, there are still a massive amount of places where it's not sold in the city, and no self respecting liverpudlian Red or Blue would be seen reading itI went as a 15year old boy to lay flowers and scarves the week after in Sheffield. 2 trains and 2 buses to get there

Got my beast today. Got from the rm. I did buy the first 6 from Atkinson's and was happy they all got ms69 so for bullion coins very good. The last one that came out thought i would pay the £5 more for rm capsule and the hope that it was in top condition. Well did get my first ms70 on that one. So tryed my luck with the rm this time to. 

Need to get those in one of my slab boxs 😀

Today I received:

1oz gold Queen's Beast Griffin (£1325 bought on this awesome forum from @kneehow2018)

500g silver Geiger bar

4 Perth mint dragon bars (to fill up my tube)

Silver stuff came directly from Geiger. I paid a hefty premium on the 500g bar but I just had to get one!

I'm debating with myself whether to take off the vacuum sealed plastic around the 500g bar. I probably won't.

2p included for size comparison.

The vac pack on the Geiger is actually a big improvement on the wafer thin clingfilm on my 10oz that they used to use..

Did you ever end up making a box for these?  I have four of them so far and was thinking a presentation box would be nice. 

I did mate yes. And am currently running a second batch. Drop me a PM if interested. £54 posted UK and think there is 3 build slots left

I got the liftoff one (b), but I didnt even know it was a series.  Will have to look for these.  JM bullion was only selling the one.

I dont even see anything on the North American Mint website.

North American Mint Silver Round Collection

The most robust offering for the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary comes from the North American Mint. This series of silver rounds includes eight designs in all that follow each step in the 8-day mission from liftoff in Florida to the surface of the moon and back as the crew splashed back down in the Pacific Ocean. Each of the silver rounds in this collection comes with .999 fine silver content, a limited mintage of 5,000 rounds per design, and has a proof-like finish with frosted designs and mirrored background fields. The rounds are individually housed inside of Air-Tite capsules and come with a unique serial number engraved onto the edge of the round. The designs include:
•Liftoff: First off is the design for Liftoff. With the Saturn V rockets at full blast, the Apollo 11 spacecraft hurtles toward the heavens in this design that includes the date of liftoff engraved around the rim and the phrasing “6,5,4,3,2,1 All Engines Running, Lift Off…We Have a Lift Off.”
•Eagle Landing: Four days after departing Kennedy Space Center, Armstrong and Aldrin descend onto the moon’s surface in the Eagle lander on the obverse of this round. Touching down in a region of the moon known as the Sea of Tranquility, Aldrin and Armstrong report back to Houston “Tranquility Base Here … The Eagle Has Landed.” The date of the moon landing is also featured.
•One Small Step: On the obverse of this design, you’ll see Armstrong descending the steps of the Eagle lander to mark the first time human beings have landed on another celestial body. As he steps onto the moon, Armstrong proclaims “That’s One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Mankind.” The timing of his first steps onto the moon is also engraved on the rim.
•The Crew: This obverse design features left-profile portraits of all three men who participated in the Apollo 11 mission. With an astronaut’s footprint visible on the moon’s surface and the commemorative 50th-anniversary date mark in the design field, the outer rim includes the names of all three men: “Buzz Aldrin,” “Michael Collins,” and “Neil Armstrong.”
•Moment of Silence: During their moonwalk, Aldrin requested a moment of silence as he took in the majesty of his position high above in the cosmos as human eyes looked directly down on Earth from above. Aldrin stands in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969, with Earth visible in the distant background field.
•For All Mankind: One of the crowning moments of the Apollo 11 mission is captured in this obverse design as Aldrin and Armstrong plant the American flag on the surface of the moon. As one man plants the flag the other salutes. Though America planted a flag, the men pronounced “Here Men From The Planet Earth First Set foot Upon the Moon…We Came in Peace for All Mankind.”
•Earthbound: Aldrin and Armstrong used the Eagle landers rocket boosters to return from the moon into orbit and rejoined Collins in the command module. The three-man crew jettisoned the Eagle lander and powered up the boosters on the command module to slingshot around the moon and return home to Earth.
•Splash Down: The final obverse design in the series depicts the moments after the landing pod had reentered Earth’s atmosphere and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. Here, the crew is met by a team of US Navy and NASA rescue specialists. The engraving rim includes the longitude and latitude coordinates where the pod splashed down in the ocean.

All of the silver rounds in the North American Mint issue have a shared reverse design. This design is inspired by the Apollo 11 mission patch worn by the astronauts of the crew. It depicts an American bald eagle with its wings spread wide as it touches down on the surface of the moon. The eagle clutches an olive branch in its talons and Earth is visible in the distant background. Engravings include the commemorative date marks of “1969 – 2019,” and the words “50th Anniversary.” Other markings on this side include the weight, purity, and metal content of the rounds.

It's going to be quite a fast moving release a coin every fee weeks.

There was tremendous interest when the moon landings occurred, but I wonder if the low mintage reflects lack of interest?; or even knowledge of it occuring to youngsters?

It funny how different the various groups are, massive interest in this set elsewhere, 50plus box orders today after listing this morning....
