To add to this, I've made a personal FABxx by myself in 2012 before I even realized a F15 existed at the mint.
So I don't have any privy, but I bought like 10-12 of my favorites 1oz silver bullion:

1. US ASE
2. Canada SML
3. China Panda
4. UK Britannia
5. Australia Kooks
6. Australia Koala
7. Somalia Elephant
8. NZ Fiji Taku
9. Mexico Libertad
10. Canada Wildlife (2012 Cougar)
11. Canada Wildlife (2012 Moose)
12. Austrian Philarmonic

This is what I remember but was very nice to do so as I was just discovering new bullions.
I really like Fiji Taku and Somalia Elephant, which I didn't new they even existed at that time.

@sherwooddavid
I'm looking at some pics of F15 2013 now and maybe we're at more than the 10th one (I was guessing as I'm not home). I'll take a look at home later today.

Not decided yet which other I want to add, as I don't even have the complete list of all the ones that are coming. I think I remember that list is somewhere in this thread or elsewhere, but never got confirmation the list was official and final.

At this moment, I don't plan to add any non-F15-privy into the box. I prefer expanding the collection to other years than having "regular" bullion in the box... so I'll check the previous years F15 to find different designs, or getting all previous years F15 (or Fxx) Silver Maple Leaf to complete the box.

One thing too, the case holds up to 15 coins... but only the first 12 are visible when you open the case. The last three are hidden under the first 12, so I think I will only put 12 in the box.
I had two subscriptions at first so I have two boxes. I cancelled one sub after getting too much non-F15, but now I have room for a personal and custom F30! :)

Sound like you got it figured out TIPIT ! 2 boxes would be great to have.

Are all the F15 coins from other countries the same size and fit in the slots ?

Like the idea of putting just the privy coins in the box.

It would be nice to find out what the 2013 F15 includes.

That;s good idea, as I told - better expand to different years and have nice designs.

Now:
Did you check amazing 2012 F15 Privy Cook Islands Tiki Coin (1oz .999 Proof!) ?
Just by the chance I got 1 spare coin, it rare, but I ready to part with it for less then ebay average price (if only found there) to CCF collector.

I'd have a nice base to start a collection.

I believe these:

*France 2013 Year of the Snake
*Argentina 5 Pesos Tango
*Malta Pinto de Fonseca

not full ounce and not .999 purity.

Ukraine Michael Archangel good (IMO) for bullion collection, do not close with it's design to the "fabulous"

So here is what I received so far:

1. 2013 F15 Canada - Silver Maple Leaf
2. 2013 UK - Britannia
3. 2013 USA - Silver Eagle
4. 2013 Austria - Wiener Philharmonic
5. 2013 China - Silver Panda
6. 2013 Australia - Koala
7. 2013 Mexico - Silver Libertad
8. 2013 France - Sower
9. 2013 F15 Republic of Rwanda - African Silver Ounce - Cheetah
10. 2013 F15 Ukraine - Archangel Michael
11. 2013 F15 Australia - Kangaroo in Outback

On all these first 11, only 4 has the F15 privy (in bold). But I was told by a mint rep that all remaining 4 has it.

Thanks for the offer, but as I said, I'm not in a hurry to fill the box and will wait to see what come next and probably make a list of all Fxx available to see which ones I'll get. Nice coin BTW.


Quote:

Coins have different sizes, but they all are sent in square capsule that fits in the box. I like the square capsule by the way, it just makes the F15 series a bit more unique as bullion are usually sent in round ones.


Quote:

I would be careful in doing so... as now the series is at the 11th coin, I don't know how it works for the shipping. Do they send you all first 11th at once? Anyway, just be aware that besides the first SML, next seven coins aren't F15 privy, and the box is not sent with the first one so you pay the other "regular" bullion at 95$ for the box before you can cancel once you get it. You have a watch with this too at some point.

The France Sower isn't on your list and I received it.
So maybe the "Year of the snake" one has been replaced by the Sower in Canada... actually, receiving a year of the snake privy in my F15 collection would be even worst than a regular bullion IMO. Fits even less in the box than any other.

Thanks guys for all the info... I'm being educated and have to admit a little overwhelmed !

I've been collecting watches for years and have a really nice collection but always have been interested in collecting coins so I started to tinker a couple months ago.

I'm really glad I found this forum as all you knowledgeable folks are making it so much more interesting for me even though I have to admit I'm having a little trouble with some of the terminology.

I'm not really sure where I'm heading with this but usually when I get interested in something I go all the way.

Thanks again for putting up with me and probably some dumb questions...Dave

@sherwooddavid No dumb questions... we all were newbies at some time! ;)

Anyway, there are lot of terminology used in this hobby: privy mark, bullion, proof finish, etc.
So feel free to ask here, we're all glad to help.
