Thanks mate, that's correct My query is on how many other Ra proofs are out there? This one is in the OMP packaging that the Series of Dissent rounds came in... This is still the same Proof that came in the boxed series, they were all numbered , but there's no figures (that I've been able to find) for the total final mintage of the Ra (as they were all "Proof", just 88 of them got the boxes/numbers) All of the "Series of Dissent" had a maximum mintage of 8888 (all a LOT lower ), the Ra had 88 boxed and ??? many others? Certainly wasn't 8800
Ahoy, Welcome Aboard and thanks for the bid @mattsta (upping the ante for Lot 6, the (for now ) "Mystery Mintage" SGB "Ra" Proof ) Ahoy, Welcome Back and thanks for the bids @Darwin (returning serve on Lot 1 (XAG Ram), Lot 5 (Recycle) and Lot 6 ("Ra") to reclaim the high-bid holder's spot across All Lots ) Leader-Board Lot 1 (XAG Ram) – $100 Darwin Lot 2 (SGB Reaper) – $50 Darwin Lot 3 (SGB Leaders) – $50 Darwin Lot 4 (SGB TBTF) – $50 Darwin Lot 5 (SGB Recycle) – $65 Darwin Lot 6 (SGB “Ra”) – $65 Darwin

Cheers mate The boxed/numbered Proofs had a mintage of 88 but the "Ra" itself had a "potential" mintage of 8888 (see Post #14 ) I'm curious what the final mintage number was/is, that would establish how many "other" Proof Ra are out there (OMP style ) Anyone still in touch with @iceblue, he may be able to set the record straight on this one? (or @mrsiceblue? I believe she posted the final mintages but for the life of me I can't find where )
