Beatles Complete 16 Silver Coin Set Apple Corps Limited Enviromint Chicagoland

Description: This is a Very Rare 16-coin Complete Matched Serial Number Set (#0492). This set is Complete because it includes the Four Coin Wooden Box set titled The Beatles, Numbered #0492 as well. Often times these sets are split up and sold individually for $150+ each for the 12 individual coins and $600+ for the four coin wooden box set. It is Extremely Rare to find a Truly Complete Set in Any Condition! As of today, 03/21/24, there are Zero Complete 16 Coin Sets with Matching Serial Numbers on Ebay. I have seen two others in the past on Ebay within the last two years or so. One of those sets was mine; set #0493. I sold that set last year. I am the original owner. This collection was offered on a subscription basis over time (one coin sent out about every two months). This is your chance to own these 16 beautiful coins made of 1 troy ounce .999 fine silver that will only increase in value in years to come. I bought this complete set myself, as they were released, from 1990 to 1994, directly from the manufacturer. They would release every eight weeks or so for a list price of $34.95 per coin; I believe the set of four coins cost me about $140 dollars. I have Never Displayed these coins. I have viewed them maybe five times since their purchase, including today, when I performed a detailed examination of each and every coin front and back while taking the photos for this listing. This set has been kept in a smoke-free environment in a dark closet and thus they are in mint, pristine condition. Please refer to my detailed photos to determine this for yourself. I do not believe that there is another complete set offered on Ebay. All 16 coins with matching serial numbers with all labels, booklets and Certificate of Authenticity card, all in pristine condition! The Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Coin comes with an additional Insert as shown in the photos. The A Hard Day's Night Coin has two Album Cover Stick-On Labels; no doubt a packing error by the Enviromint Chicagoland manufacturer. This complete set of 16 coins, each being one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, was issued in the early 1990s by the Chicagoland Processing Corporation and Enviromint and is fully authorized by Apple Corps Limited. The 12 individually packaged coins are encased in a clear polystyrene snap-case holder and each comes in an attractive gray suede-covered soft padded presentation book-style folder with metal-reinforced corners and matching "The Beatles" logo and band silhouette image on the front. Each folder contains an illustrated booklet, with its corresponding Serial #0492, covering each of The Beatles' original 12 albums and the corresponding coin that features the albums cover on the obverse with "The Beatles" logo on reverse with the exception of The White Album which features the album cover on the reverse and band portraits on obverse. The 4-coin exclusive set titled "The Beatles", produced by Enviromint Silver Medallion Collection company, features the four Beatle portraits on the obverse and a similar reverse as the individually packaged coins. The 4 coins and the included Certificate of Authenticity card have the same matching serial numbers (#0492) and are also encased individually in clear plastic snap-case holders which are displayed in a black velour background setting within an elegant hinged black wooden case. A certificate of Authenticity card with the #0492 serial number embossed upon it is included. Each reverse is marked with matching incised edition number "0492" on each coin and on the back of each booklet. 10,000 coins were produced for each design of the 12 coin individually packaged coins and 25,000 were produced for the 4-piece Enviromint Wooden Box set. The first 10,000 of the wooden box set were offered exclusively to the purchasers of the 12-piece individual set customers with matching serial numbers and are thus rarer and more valuable than the subsequent 15,000 box sets that are not matched to the original series which was limited to 10,000 coins. Below I have included additional (if sometimes redundant) information regarding this set. Up for your consideration is a very Rare and seldom seen Limited Edition Beatles Commemorative Silver Coin set, each coin made of One Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver which were produced by Enviromint (a.k.a. Chicagoland Processing) and were licensed by Apple Corp. Ltd. These sets were originally released in the early 1990's to coincide with the 25th anniversary of select Beatles album releases. There are 16 individually matched serial numbered coins included in this set, one for each of the Beatles original 12 US album releases and one depicting each of the four individual Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. (Enviromint did not produce a coin for the animated movie "Yellow Submarine" due to licensing rights). Each silver coin in this set is engraved with matching serial number 0492 of a Limited Edition of 10,000. Each individual album coin comes in its own crushed-suede presentation case with the Beatles logo and a silhouette of the group in black on the front of the case. Each album coin is embedded in the center of a hinged plastic frame where both sides of the coin can be easily viewed by simply flipping the frame as if it were a page in a book. Each coin also comes with its own booklet describing the events surrounding the Beatles at the time the album was recorded and a listing of the tracks from the album with notes about the recording of the individual songs. The booklet also serves as the certificate of authenticity as each booklet is numbered on the back with the same matching #0492 serial number it shares with its companion coin. Each album coin is also accompanied by an album cover stick-on label which I suppose was intended to be affixed to the top of the outer cardboard boxes which holds each suede case. All 12 of the stickers remain as new and in unused condition. The four individual coins depicting each of the Beatles comes in its own black wooden presentation box with the Beatles logo on top in silver. The accompanying certificate of authenticity certifies the four-coin set as #0492 of the limited edition of 25,000. The discrepancy in the edition amounts between the album coins edition and the four set Beatles bust edition is due to there being more sets of the four individual Beatles bust sets made available (25,000 edition limit) whereas there were only 10,000 sets reserved for the 12 Beatles album coins, with the lower numbered 10,000 coins reserved for those who opted to purchase the entire album set along with the individual Beatles presentation set. Rest assured that this rare offering will be packaged and shipped safely and securely. I would suggest a USPS "Signature upon delivery" shipment method for a listing of this value. Thanks for viewing my listing.
