<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iceman57, post: 1043798, member: 16712&quot;]Hi everyone</p><p>I just wanted to share a very rare set of Icelandic proof coins...or should I say brag about my 1940 proof set.</p><p>There is no mintage records for these proof coins or any of the proof coins from 1940 to 1963. There are only two years ,,,The 1940 and 1946 set that had all the coins,,1 eyrir, 2, 5, 10 and 25 Aurars minted in proof....The other years they would only mint the coins as needed so you would ,,,Say only have a 1953 1 Eyrir and a 1953 10 Aurar minted for that year and in so doing that, They minted exsamples of them in proof as well and this went on until 1963. Now it is beleived that they only minted about 10 +/- proof coins for each type when they did strike coins for circulation and these coins were only given to the UK branch mints as well as VIP&#039;s in Iceland. The rarist of the proof coins from this period is the 1961 500 Kronur proof which there are only 3 known and Siggi Palma a member here on CoinTalk has the thrid one ....You Lucky !!!!! son of a gun. Well I must say that he had help me aquire a few of the proof&#039;s I have now. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]102415.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]102416.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>The 1E, 2, 5 Aurar&#039;s have a real nice rainbow toning and the 10 and 25 Aurar&#039;s are in Cameo I&#039;m going to someday send them back to NGC to have them put in to there new side view holders,,,I hate this multi coin holders.</p><p>Well I hope you enjoyed the pictures.</p><p>Gudni[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
