This set sold out at the Royal Mint before most people had heard about it!
Many regular collectors have been justifiably annoyed to have missed out on the opportunity to acquire their set.
It appears that the Royal Mint maintain several different versions of their mailing list. They decide which collectors are most likely to buy any particular offer, and then only mail out the offer to those selected few. It sounds crazy to us, but it's called "marketing".
We placed an order for 20 sets, and received our first 10 after the issue had sold out. The final ten sets arrived many months later. Amazingly, we still have a few sets left. We believe the reason for this is the very fact that the sets sold out so quickly that they were given negligible publicity, and therefore many collectors

A Very Special Collection
The set contains one each of the current circulating denominations, plus the millennium crown, and also, for the first time since 1937, the four Maundy coins.
All the coins are struck in silver, sterling silver (0.925) for all except the Crown which is in fine silver (0.999).
The £5 Crown has a fine gold plating on the British Isles and the clock hand. The £2 coin has fine gold plating on the outer rim which would normally be nickel-brass.
The Millennium Silver Collection was issued with an issue limit of 15,000 sets. Each comes complete with a serially numbered certificate.
