<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2870145, member: 13307"]First off, I don't think this is a proof set. I think it's a really nice UNC aftermarket set. It's definitely not regular proof quality, and the 2-3 matte proof sets the mint made that year have quite a bit more detail than my set (don't get me wrong - I'd be OVERJOYED to find one of those matte proof sets!)</p><p><br /></p><p>But anyway, here is my set. First shots of it in the Capital Plastics-style holder, then the coins themselves. They seem to have a patina from the case and a few have an irregular toning pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]685688[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>Farthing</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 881</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 6,131,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC price (Krause 2010): $3.00</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Half Penny</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 882</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 8,926,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $3.00</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Penny</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 883</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 1,308,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $14.00</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]685690[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>Three Pence</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 886</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 30,618,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $6.00</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Six Pence</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 889</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 70,324,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $4.00</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Shilling (English Crest)</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 890</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 41,943,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $7.00</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Shilling (Scottish Crest)</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 891</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 20,664,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $7.50</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]685691[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>Florin (Two Shillings)</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 892</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 11,959,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $8.00</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Half Crown</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 893</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 4,333,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $11.00</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Crown</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">KM 894</p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage of 5,963,000</p> <p style="text-align: center">UNC Price (Krause 2010): $13.00</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]685689[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Total cost for this gorgeous set, including holder?
