CTH, hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially on such a positivity oriented thread, but those coins are harshly polished..I'd advise you return them if possible..
Feel free to call me Will.

@the dollarman Well, you could be right but they look identical to the finish I have on several ICCS graded 1937 SP coins. They will be graded within a couple of weeks. We'll see if you're right, keep you posted. Thanks for your opinion.

I don't usually buy modern coins but I really like Geo.V from any country. So how could I pass up this beauty.

Nice ! What for me makes these so striking, is the simplicity of the Obv/Rev with the contrast. Makes me think of clouds and the old blue yonder.

CTH, like Dollarman said, this is definitely a fine specimen set ; the toning is phenomenal and even the cent is mint red ! Only the 5c seems to show a litle corosion problem but its fairly common. Lots of peoples would be extremely pleased to own such a beautifull set... If There is no handling/hairlines, I strongly suggest you to go directly whit PCGS instead of ICCS for that set : its definitely way more valuable and rare than your 1937 matte set (and the trueview would be fantastic). I'm always Surprised to see such amazing coins still raw, As a huge fan of specimen coinage, I must Say I'm stunned by the coins presented on the forum in the last Weeks
