According to the description, that is not a coin set issued by the Vatican but a single big "coin" (medal?) with mini-versions of the Vatican coins built into it ... I am curious about Vatican Euro sets. Anyone know where I can get more information? The Vatican's Numismatic Office has a website with some info: http://www.vatican.va/vatican_city_s...s/index_it.htm And then, come back here and ask :-) Christian |

Seems perfectly clear to me: ..................................... "DEUTSCH ITALIANO FRANÇAIS IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR COLLECTORS ... THE ORDERS OF THE NUMISMATIC ISSUES OF APRIL 10th 2003 WILL BE FILLED ACCORDING TO AVAILABILITY AND IT WILL BE GIVEN ONLY ONE SET FOR TYPE. MOREOVER AS FOR AS REGARDING THE ABOVE MENTIONED NUMISMATIC ISSUES, IT IS NOT FORSEEN THE INSERTION OF NEW NAMES UNTIL CONTRARY COMMUNICATION. IT WILL BE CONSIDERED ONLY REQUEST OF PERSONS WHO ARE ALREADY REGISTERED IN OUR MAILING * LIST WITH RELATIVE CODE NUMBER. ..................................... So there you go. I for one have seen no contrary communication, and therefore assume that my name will not be inserted as I have neglected to be previously registered in their mailing. Or something like that. Scot Kamins --- RCC's Resident Newbie Sergeant (by Special Appt from Roscoe the Wheeler) Here, let me translate it for you.. "You have to be on our subscription list and have a customer number before you can buy any coins from us. Our subscription list is full so you can't get on it anymore unless we say you can. Do you see anything on this page that says you can? No. So you can't. You were supposed to be psychic and know that our Mint and Proof Sets would be made in tiny numbers and gotten on our subscriber list in 2001, when we started having our own Euro coins, fool.." .. The part they left out is "Even if you're on our subscription list and have a customer number, and we send you order forms, and you fill them out and send them back to us as fast as humanly possible, there's still a pretty good chance you won't get what you ordered anyway, but you can try. Ha ha ha.." .. Harv |

Harv, have you made any financial contributions to the church other than
buying their Vatican euro set??? The church keeps tabs on what you contribute to them as far as charitable donations are concerned and they may perceive you as unworthy to own the holy Vatican euro set. Ed |

Darn. :-) Christian |
