The "plastic " set of 1953 was an increadably sucessfull selling over a million if I remember rightly they were issued in post offices at a small premium over face value as a coronation keep sake.
Many were broken open in the seventies or even sixties the penny waa always touted as "rare" even though its not most of the higher value coins went back intoi circulation but the bronze remains in large quantities unused.
Even today the cheapest way of getting a set is in these plastic wallets

Hey it already shows a healthy premium on its original issue price it has taken 44 years to manage it though you would have done a lot better in sovs

For those who might have a few 1953 plastic sets hanging around or o few 1953 crowns.
1953 pennies are fetching £15 in BU with halfpennies fetching a tenner
A nice 1953 crown now fetches abour £6 after being almost unsellable at the start of the year

I would have thought it would be made with sides - do you have any proof its a royal mint product ?
There are many enginering places in the uk or abroad that could make what you have .

The main trouble with halfpennies is they were not hoarded as much as pennies so there are relatively few around the victoria halfpennies also suffered from heavy usage and few have even clear dates these days .
A good halfpenny collection is even harder to put together than pennies because at least there are still quite a few pennies around , there again there are more varieties in the penny series mostly of 1860 , 1861 and 1862

I really feel sorry for the older and poorer people in ukraine they live from hand to mouth anyway the rich and mobile at least had the option of running away - some of the older ones even remember the nazis in the country in the mid 1940s such a shame that mans infumatitiy to man comes back 70 years later

Others have tried to move on from the desperate politicking, this thread is to do with humour and you are massively missing the mark. Brexit is done and dusted, it doesn’t help you to take things you can’t change so seriously, move on and yourself a favour.

Like the 1953 plastic set

Dont bet on that a memorial coin prob a £5 to maximise royal mint profits is probably in the planning

The chairman of Russia's Lukoil oil giant, Ravil Maganov, has died after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, reports say.
The company confirmed his death but said only that Maganov, 67, had "passed away following a severe illness".
Russian media said he was being treated at Moscow's Central Clinical Hospital and died of his injuries.
Maganov is the latest of a number of high-profile business executives to die in mysterious circumstances.
Investigating authorities said they were working at the scene to establish how he died. Tass news agency quoted sources saying he had fallen out of a sixth-floor window, adding later that he had taken his own life.
Only in russia is a fall from an upstairs window a "severe illness"
I surpose the guys that pushed him were described as "medicine" .

I strongly suspect whatever they are storeing will not last long

Personally I think that germany will face the most problems with gas this winter along with poland and france with all countries in europe badly scared this also will leave many parts of europe very much open to virtual blackmail from Russia.

The two olympic 2008 £2 coins are pretty hard to find along with the mary rose which seems to be kept because its a nice design .
