    The felt crumbles at a touch, so i guess that is what it is. I cant see black marks when looking at the actual coins. Could you point out the marks that concern you and i will take a closer look. Now that i know what i am looking for i will keep an eye on adverts and auctions. I will probably end up listing them on ebay... as much as i hate ebay! Thanks for taking the time to help... much appreciated. Especially on the reverses , some coins have what looks like faint black (or dark blue?) lines, very thin, like pencil marks They were bits of felt. I will take some better pictures when i list them.

    Hi, I recently inherited a set of 1950 british coins and would like to know if they would be classified as a 'specimen set' or a 'proof set'. Being new to the world of numismatics, i have spent most of the day researching online and although i have found it very interesting, i have also found parts confusing (especially grading and valuation). The coins are in a red box and the only marking on the box is an emblem with 'Royal Mint' along the bottom. It contains 9 coins:- Penny Half Penny Farthing Three Pence Six Pence One Shilling (english) One Shilling (scottish) - research paid off here! Two Shilling (florin?) Half Crown The coins are obviously uncirculated but would they be proofs and also what would be the likely value? ( i am looking into selling them) I presume they would be worth more as a set rather than as individuals. There is some tarnishing of the coins. I can organise some pics if that would help and anyone is interested. Thanks

    225 pounds does sound optimistic. Thanks Peckris

    Here are the images. I have tried to keep as much resolution as i could.

    Yes thats the one. It's hard to tell the condition of those coins from the picture. (if it is a picture of the actual coins they are selling as they use library images) I am guessing that price would be for an immaculate set? I will upload a picture of my set in the next day. Thanks for the link and help.
