End of the Second World War silver proof 3 coin set

[TeaTime]

Just ordered this - seems a bit too good to be true. 3 x silver proof coins for the price of what the RM charge for one coin.. I've looked to see if it's a continuation set but it appears to be for all three coins.

Is this one of the coins ?

Not massively, but I do love a bargain. It seems to be essentially 3 "free" proof silver coins

Yes. All you can carry offers by the mint would be nice. Like all you can eat. Who doesn't loves all you can eat

Is it your round?

Not when it's £5.50 a pint in the UK!

My next poll...'average cost of pint by area in UK' (new thread of course, sorry TeaTime)

I stay in the sticks where prices almost touch the cities of Scotland. A pint of imported eg moretti is £4.50. I don’t mind this as I don’t go out very often, every weekend would be another matter. 
Sticking to the thread, just ordered this set as really like it, cheers forum and OP

Incidentally, I notice the NZ and Aus mints have a proper Troy oz while the “royal mint “ are normal (read less) weight. I am really getting pissed with the mint! Not liked I’ve spent much with them!

I noticed this few days before, n thinking if it's wrongly priced.  More importantly, i bought this set year before at over 200😭

That's because the British coin is a £5 / Crown, the dimensions, weight and silver purity of which are specific. The Royal Mint commemorative coins are often Crowns.

Thank you.👍

[TeaTime]

Received today. The NZ crown is rather dull and uninspired, the RM crown maybe slightly better but still not the sort of coin you'd spend more than a couple of minutes looking at but the Australian coin is  a work of art.

I can see why the set of 3 at £200 didn't sell out. Happy enough with the three for £92.50 though 😁

I ordered one set too, waiting for it to arrive.
