I am seeing double at the moment. I have the catalogue from the mint
sitting on my desk and these coins are on the front cover.
Very nice coins, but I won't be buying them. I only want circulated coins now.

I have been advised that this will be a sell-out.

I should have one of these as, all of a sudden, I am into horses again! Will have to start looking for horse coins for my son and I. (His Mustang arrives today) I am going to be horse poor!

I bought two.  They arrived yesterday.  They are truly magnificent coins.
