Another one of the Royal Mint coin hunt collection is this album for some of the various designs of pound coins that you find in your change, the pound coin is not as collectable as 50p's of £2 coins but there are still some cool ones to pick up, most notable the UK cities collection, the most valuable being the lower minted Edinburgh.
The only coin missing from this set is the "last round pound coin" that one was only available to buy from the Royal Mint but i was only interested in getting the coins from my change rather than buying an over priced pound just to fill the last slot in the book. I still hunt each of the pound coins in my change in the hope of finding better quality ones than i currently have but its a nice set to have, im sure the simple pound will continue to devalue to its base metal value of nowt but there is still enough value in this set to purchase a semi numismatic silver ounce.
Hopefully there will be some very smart designs released in the new 12 sided pound coin, i was going to buy the first in silver but its just such a bad purchase for the premium on the silver content, if they mint a nicer design and lower minted pound i might get one glorioius silver and gold edging. I would love to get this collection together in the silver versions but hunting them down and the cost involved would just get expensive, the Edinburgh one alone would cost over £100
