My 'Collection' stats

In order of frequency, this represents my 'fake frequency';

Celtic Cross - Total 13 (2001 year date x 12, 2002 x 1)
Ornamental Arms - 8 (2003 x 5, 1989 x 1, 1998 x 1, 2002 x 1)
Three Lions - 7 (2002 x 4, 1997 x 2, 1995 x 1)
Forth Bridge - 4 (all 2004)
Welsh Dragon - 3 (2001 x 2, 2000 x 1)
Egyptian Arch - 3 (all 2006)
Scottish Thistle - 2 (1988 x 1, 1989 x 1)
Menai Bridge - 1 (2005)
Rampant Lion - 1 (1994)
Flax in Coronet - 1 (1989)

So taking in country design-by-design, the stats read;

Ireland - 17
UK - 8
England - 7
Scotland - 7
Wales - 4

And finally by year date, the results are;

2001 - 14
2002 - 6
2003 - 5
2004 - 4
1989 - 3
2006 - 3
1997 - 2
1988 - 1
1994 - 1
1995 - 1
1998 - 1
2000 - 1
2005 - 1

I'm not entirely sure what this really shows as 12 of my 43 fakes so far are Celtic Cross 2001 fakes, so my stats are slanted towards that particular coin anyway. However, in my 43 I have 18 different design/date combinations without taking into account edge inscriptions. (On that point all 3 of my Thistles and Rampant Lion have the 'Decus' rather than 'Nemo' inscription).

If any of my design/date mules are new to other people (such as the 89 Irish Flax), I'd be interested to hear about them.
