RBI platinum jubilee set bookings

Coin booking for the RBI platinum jubilee coins is now open up till 31st Dec, 2010. The UNC and proof sets have coins in the denomination of 75,10,5,2 and 1. This is the first time that we are having a coin in the denomination of 75rs, and after a long time we are seeing a set having more than 3 coins(Even the commonwealth games set had 3 coins, one after a gap of 7 years, but this one looks special also because of the size of the 1 and 2 rupee coins).

The price of booking has gone up steeply with the UNC set costing 3400rs and the proof set costing 4000rs. It may be arguable as to why the price has gone up so much, even though the cost of production for a 5 coin set would be higher and hence the selling price would also be higher.

Those who wish to book the sets can do so at the mumbai mint website.
