What is "F15" stand for?
Why "15" not other numbers?

and the "F" in F15 means Fabulous, so the F15 aka Fab15 means Fabulous 15 coins.

Early sets (2007-2009) were F12 as they only comprised 12 coins. For 2010-2012 it was increased to 15 coins. Up to 2011 the mintage was only 5,000 making these hard/expensive to find on the resale market. In 2012 the mintage was increased to 10,000. I believe only the Canadian SML and Australian Kangaroo were modified with the privy mark for these sets and the rest of the coins in the sets were just the regular issue. I'm not sure if that's changed for the 2012 set.

Has anyone here actually received the box for this collection? I'm dying to know if it's worth holding out for.. Really like to know the quality and if it's a nice solid quality cherry type wood as it looks.. If anyone has one would love to hear your feedback and how much you feel it's worth.. Any good pics would always be nice too!

I've got the 2011 set and the 2012 set...2011 set has 4 coins with F15 privy mark, and a couple of very hard to find coins, the box is real nice too, F15 means the most fabulous 15 silver coins in the world .....if you would try an get all of these coins seperatly it would be almost imposible, the Andorra coin,Spain coin can't be found, I've tried lol...the 2011 set has only around 700 buyers of it, I've gotten a letter with my last coin saying this...I don't know what will be: the real mintage , but I'll bet it won't be 1000 sets.....

@silverdollarnuts: only 600-700 remaining subscribers, but a lot of people bought in to the set and canceled mid way. So, the mintage on the F15 SML should be right close to max of limit. @Bibo: here's what one look like  |

Hi, this is my first post. Hope my question is not too silly... is the "free exclusive Silver Maple Leaf wristwatch" that comes with the 5th coin really made of silver (at least the watch face)? Or just silver in colour? Thanks.

i just learned about these too, apparently it's a collection of the years best 1oz silver bullion coins with a F15 privy mark. (that little titanic you have is a titanic privy, not f15 logo)
I've signed up for it months ago, have yet to receive a single coin and am thinking of cancelling as I can assemble my own (without the F15 privy) for a fraction of the cost. they are charging $89.99 for the nations standard bullion coins with a little privy.
if I'm wrong, maybe someone can correct me.

@cowboy905....good luck finding the spain, andora ones....and those with the f15 mark...i know the mark does not mean much to silver stackers, but to collectors its a different story, its a nice collection, pricy but with very few full sets, maybe in the futur it will be worth it...if not, youll still have a pretty great collection..
@shopaholic the watch is silver ( the face)...

@Cowboy905 Watch out. Not all the coins have a f15 privy mark. I think only a couple of them have it. IMHO, it is mostly overpriced bullion :-). I cancelled 3 coins in.
