Oh really? ……🙂

Premium 3 coin Brit set, bought for the 1/4oz which is not available individually so set will be split
Anyone interested in a trade the 1/2oz is posted in the UK Ungraded trade page

 
 
 
 

Some more coins arrived today. The Mary Gillick Sovereign run. I need to invest in a decent camera.

If I give you £1.50p in old money can you get me 20 Woodbines next time you shop?!😀
PS. Keep the change!

Over the years I’ve never really liked IRBs QEII obverse, but recently have realised that given the right lighting, her details show enormous dignity, as in your 1999 Brit. 

Attached is a study of the Queen which has helped me to change my view….

I think I prefer IRB's portrait to the Jody Clark one.  Even though it's a tiny little 1/10 oz coin, the details are really sharp on the 1999.

You are quite right, so perhaps a full Maundy set then. I was really referring to the toning on silver coins which can take many years.
It’s hard to believe there were 240 old pennies to the Pound, therefore 60 of those silver 1d = to a Crown. Here’s my only Maundy set from the 1937 GVI coronation proof set. 👍

2024 proof sovereign KCIII. I gave up with the Royal Mint after receiving wiped/hair-lined dross and ordered elsewhere for less. Addition to QEII/KCIII proof date run. As it's selling poorly, there's a decent chance that 2024's final mintage will be as low as early to mid 1990's.

The shillings, Florins, half crowns and crowns from that era are some of the best coin designs in the world imo and I don’t have a single one.
I was looking up graded Victorian MS coins on eBay a few days ago and a Victorian shilling sold for funny money think it was a 38 or a 39 can’t remember but was a beautiful piece.
Had to search for it here it is what a beauty…
