...but...

My edition of Collectors' Coins also lists a very rare 16-coin proof set for 1853 (half farthing to Gothic Crown).

I presume you mean proof sets produced for sale to the general public? The above list is a good starting point. I don't have a definitive list to hand, but I think 1853 should be added. In some years, alternative sets were available with a different range of denominations. For many of the years in between, so called VIP proof sets were produced in very small numbers (often just a handful) for limited circulation, usually to visiting dignitaries. These are extremely rare and collectible. Many have become split up over the years and appear as individual coins at auction.

The 1853 set is actually exceptionally beautiful . . . if you have £50,000-plus to splash and are lucky enough to find one!
