Special offer ! |
We have recently purchased a "parcel" of
1970 - 1977 Proof Sets
which we are offering at a special price!
**************************************
The coins in several of the sets, especially
the copper ones are starting to tone.
A possible cause is that the glue the
Royal Mint used in these early sets
are having this adverse effect on the coins
locked in this sealed unit !?
If this is the case will ALL the sets
be effected eventually ???
**************************************
1970 sets
This was the first proof set produced for collectors
- after the Coronation set of 1953.
It was also the last proof set issued in Sterling £.s.d
before the currency was changed to our present day
- decimal 'type' coinage!
Lastly, it is unique in that NONE of the Sterling
coins dated 1970 were ever issued for circulation.

1972 sets
In this year the Mint decided that there were enough
coins, of all denomination, in circulation and that none
were needed to be struck for ordinary currency.
Therefore it is one of the most popular coin set of the 1970's
as NONE of these coins can be found from circulation.
