Is there a way to see how many have been sold (like you can on APMEX)? I ordered a few, but they are still in the mail. Anyone received either of the proofs yet? If so, how do they look? |

Lowest number I received was 325 on the 1oz. And they look very nice!  Edited by Dar

I just received some one and five ounce proofs. They are great.
However, I actually like the large case to hold the entire series even better. I picked up two of the Zombuck cases and two of these and the Hercules cases are much nicer.

I'm actually thinking of getting the Herc cases as well.
They seem like they'd make a nice presentation.
I have 2 sets of each going now. The Silvers and the coppers.
Would be nicer to store and show with the cases.

Labors of Hercules are great coins.

Dar,
You won't be disappointed. The inside has a slot for the five ounce in the middle, and a nice oval for the labors.
I got two boxes (one for copper and one for silver).
Unlike the Zombucks box, the plastic holders are not included. However, I wish the Zombucks would have skipped the holders and improved the quality of display.

I just checked on Provident and they are only showing 39 of the one once coins remaining (unless they are adding more later).
It will be interesting to see if they sell out this week. The 5 ounce look to be moving more slowly, which is probably to be expected given the price point.
This is turning out to be a fun series to collect. When I have time, I want to research the different meaning behind each coin.

You may find this interesting. Gibraltar minted 7,500 coins for each of the 12 Labors of Hercules. They were released into circulation between 1997 and 2000. Complete sets in brilliant uncirculated condition are rare.  Edited by Buffalow

I hope it is ok to ask ..
Have all the 12 labor coins been released?
I guess I am wondering if it is not to late to start
collecting this set .. and have a possibility of getting
a complete set.

This series had started a few month back and each month they only release 1 design and you have to buy it within that month. On the 12th of each month, you can order the old and new release on that 1 day. Final mintage for each design will be released once that design end.
GR58, you have missed about 4 or 5 design, which now you have to buy on the secondary market. You can pick up the remaining part of the series starting with the current release. Good thing is Provident Metal now offer FREE shipping for order over $100. by the way, I have multiples of all design, so if you need help, let me know.
Average mintage is in the range of 6K to 9K. You can check their blog page and mintage page for more details (all on Provident Metal's webpage).
