The sister to my previously posted penny arrived today. I was amazed to be able to nab both of these, but very happy.

Mailbox arrivals this morning. Nothing too fancy 1963 English Shield shilling in nice condition  1948 florin poorly-cleaned in not so nice condition, but it will fill a hole nicely.

Good coins all. Gainn that 53 set is nice, most of the plastic has corroded or cracked after 70 years. Plastic was a novelty and a "space age" material back then!
The price is right, after all you get UNC coins from the era and 1953 pennies are very desirable, also the farthing is a type only found in the set.
Kipster that Penny is just crazy - I honestly go crazy when I see them!

@Gainn Quote: Is there a (UK) thread to show items lost in the post in case they 'show up' somewhere? I missed this before, but I don't think there is. Maybe you could start one, are you missing items that you ordered? @jbuck Quote:Outstanding!  thanks jbuck!

Look at what I just purchased!  Less than 5,000 minted and another big goal ticked off!

Quote: are you missing items that you ordered One item. A 1943 florin in a one of those "ship's wheel" silver brooch mounts. Post does genuinely get lost/destroyed, but it's probably rare enough that a thread would get buried quickly.
