<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 65539, member: 708&quot;]I forgot about that. Yes i stand corrected i did see one Edward VII 1902 Proof set, the gold was wonderful.

I think the original boxes they were issued in do more harm than good and tone many rather nastily.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another reason why i avoid proofs.
