Dear Collector,

 

Pobjoy Mint Ltd would like to announce that as from March 2017 they will no longer represent the Isle of Man as the official minter of Isle of Man legal tender products.

Recently, the Isle of Man has announced a reduction in the number of themes that can be produced in any year.

This will mean that many Isle of Man coins will no longer be made and we urge our customers to order existing Isle of Man products while stock last.

We will continue to produce high-quality coins from our six other issuing authorities and look forward to showing our customers the new and exciting products we have for the balance of 2016 and into 2017.

Pobjoy Mint Ltd has had a long and fruitful relationship with the Isle of Man that has lasted for over 40 years; we wish them well for the future.

What a shame, glad i picked up so many angels this year, and the gold one as it may be the last year.

Just had that email as well.

So a one-year mintage of only 100,000 pieces - it won't be continued as Pobjoy will hold the copyright over the designs.  It might bode well for future value.

Not sure if this is possibly a good time to buy a few?

That's a shame. I really like what they did with the 2016 Angel! Let's see who the next IOM minter will be?

Strategic change of direction for the isle of man with a big reduction in coins produced.

Pobjoy no longer licensed.

Last year for the reverse proof angel

The 1oz Isle of Man Silver Proof Cat series could now be a good long term investment.

Does anybody know the mintage for the 1 oz gold 2008 Angel??
