    Does anyone know anything about these? they are 1 ounce .999 fine silver coins in a presentation box from Westminster. $10 fiji. This was a last min buy for 62. Quite a bit above spot but only 495 of these sets were made.

    What I'm interested in is does anyone know how many of the coins were actually minted? if it was only 495 they that would seem a total bargain but i suspect many more were minted and just 495 of these sets were presented in this way? a bit of a last min purchase but still cheaper than the standard bullion cost me at the start of the year so i went for a gamble.

    Anyone seen or owned these?

    Thanks mmissinglink, still cant find out a thing about them so maybe they did have 500 mintage:| quite unusual, absolutely massive in size but extremely thin.
