<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d_lairson, post: 308823, member: 8441&quot;]EDIT: Sorry, that is &quot;Great Britain&quot; in the title...</p><p><br /></p><p>I just picked up a set at my local shop ( Yay! I now have a local shop, and it Rocks! ) Anyway the set is called &quot;Coinage of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 1977 - Containing a Crown piece specially struck at the Royal mint to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 1952-1977&quot; The set has a 50 new pence, a 10 new pence, a 5 new pence, a 2 new pence, a 1 new penny and a 1/2 new penny, plus a gorgeous Crown and a nice square copper medalete with the Royal Mint seal on it. My question is, when did the UK switch to decimal coinage? I thought it was in the 1960&#039;s... I bought it for a steal, $5 (it seems like a steal to me!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>David</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: I also got a 1979 set... I have to admit, these sets have style...great layout, great presentation, good quality strikes. I don&#039;t know if I would call them proof, but above business strike...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
