M4 1848 - OR (VICTORIA) |
M4 1848 - BR (BRITANNIAR) |
M4 1848 - RE (REGINA) |
1848 Maundy set - This is one of the rarer dates in the Victorian Maundy series.
This is partly due to the threepence being extremely rare in any grade and especially
so in a choice grade. The difference between a Maundy and a currency 3d of this period is
that they are extremely difficult to tell apart ! So silver 3d collectors will on occasions
buy the Maundy set if a 3d alone is not available.
On the set the Fourpence is brilliant (bright) the O & R of VICTORIA have gaps at the top. The B
has a gap at the top and bottom both R's have gaps at the top in BRITANNIAR. The R of REGINA
also has a gap at the top and the E has a slight gap at the bottom. Bright EF+-pAS
The Threepence: Obv. Light tone in legend. Rev. Blue greenish tone. EF+-pAS.
The Twopence: Obv. Light tone in legend. Blue greenish tone. EF+-pAS
The Penny is Bright. EF+-pAS
The set is choice and well matched by grade - EF+-pAS
