<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3570844, member: 112"]I'd also add John that I collected Maundy Sets like those I pictured above for quite some time. It was kind of theme of mine that carried over from my days as a collector of US coins. With US coins I had a collection of all the Mint Sets and Proof Sets in original packaging. So I looked for and purchased sets in original packaging from other countries when I could find them - after I switched over to collecting world coins. And those of Great Britain were among the easier to find, though none were actually easy.
