<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 1220268, member: 27100&quot;]Both the plastic (Unc) and proof sets of 1953 are common.&nbsp; There were 40,000 proof sets minted, and over 1 million of the plastic sets issued.&nbsp; The 1d was only minted for these sets, so any found in circulation (and they did turn up) were from sets broken up (probably by kids wanting sweetie money!).&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there are warehouse amounts of these hidden away!&nbsp; In fact, usually the first year of a monarch&#039;s reign&#039;s coins are common, as occurred in 1902, 1911, 1937 and 1953.&nbsp; It is the year <i>after</i> that rareties tend to occur (such as good Unc examples of 1903, 1938 and 1954 coins).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
