NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18010 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 2:29 pm I managed to 'win' some lots at the Corbitts Auction. They are long-established Coin and Stamp dealers based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This was an upgrade, replacing a coin that I suspect is a forgery. It's been cleaned but not too harshly and you can make out some of the lettering of the host coin (they were overstruck, mainly on Spanish 8 Reales). 1804 Bank of England Dollar: Another Bank of England token coin - 1816 1/6d: 1930 George V Wreath Crown: My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18010 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 2:44 pm I also bought a 1940 George VI Maundy set, which was in a modern case but included the original envelope. Not sure why there is a reference to 'fees' - maybe this is just quaint old English... I've never seen one of these envelopes before. I imagine the coins were stored inside it until quite recently!

daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1058 Posts	Posted 02/05/2025 5:53 pm Wonderful pickups, Rob, especially (to my mind) that Bank Dollar, which would fit nicely into my own set. I know there are a minimum of five varieties of the obverse and three reverses, so you'll need to dig a bit into ESC to nail that down. As for the Maundy Fee, it's my understanding that those were paid (in envelopes like yours) to the Lord High Almoner as compensation for his (exclusively male back then, of course) arranging, assembling, and stage-managing the Maundy ceremonies for the monarch. Long-standing tradition, if not law, required that his costs be covered by payment in Maundy money itself. I first encountered this practice in print perhaps forty years ago and I've questioned or "doubted" the published mintage/distribution figures ever since, because where have we ever been told how many sets went to the Lord High Almoner (and staff, possibly) to cover their costs? The upside of that history is that once you've identified the Lord High Almoner for 1940, you'll know where your set's provenance began. It was a role often played by the Archbishop of Canterbury, as I understand it, who sometimes actually stood in for the reigning king and/or queen when they were unable to make it for the actual distribution to the poor. Great stuff! "If everything seems to be under control, you're just not going fast enough." --- Mario Andretti Report this Post to the Staff
