Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 08/23/2012 12:17 pm Howdy, this set was in my great-grandad's stuff. I've never paid any attention to it as I collect US coins. What varieties should I look for in this set? All coins are in great Mint State shape. I see what might be signs of double die on the Penny and Farthing. Any info will be greatly appreciated, I know nothing about these coins. Half Crown - 1967 Crown - 1965 Florin - 1967 English Shilling - 1966 Scottish Shilling - 1964 (Both of these coins look the same) Halfpenny - 1966 Threepence - 1967 Farthing - 1951 Sixpence - 1967 Penny - 1967 Thanks!

The two shilling coins have a different coat of arms. Am not aware of any special varieties for the coins that you have but hey maybe you found something. Report this Post to the Staff

You'll be happy to know, the crown is still legal tender, now it is a 25p coin in Enngland, nobody seems to know about them. Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 08/23/2012 8:50 pm Thanks for the info! I think that case did its job, ha! I can probably find a replacement case for super cheap. It is a cool set, and I'm surprised how well kept the coins are. Undoubtedly, my great-grandfather bought this at the end of his collecting career, when the set was issued. I did find the previous post on CC about this set, but was curious about varieties... if people even collect British varieties? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 08/23/2012 9:09 pm There are British variety collectors, though perhaps not to the same extent as you find in America. Most of the interesting varieties, however, occurred prior to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. I'm not aware of any significant varieties for the dates indicated.
