Piedfort Proof Silver Coins

Recommended Posts

Do any forum members collect these? I have been given a couple and it started me looking at various sites and the Bay, do they have any numismatic appeal do people think?

Not so much collect them, but having been at auctions in the late 90s, I bought some because they were way below their book price. The only ones I think worthwhile are the "first" or "last", e.g. 1983 £1, 1982 20p, 1990 5p, 1992 10p, etc. But I'm sure some people like the poor things!

I'd only get them if they were selling at or below scrap price. Not really all that interesting to me though I would like to pick up the 5p one, I've already got the 2 silver proof set of that.

I've bought a few as part of collections or when I've seen them cheaply. I'd much prefer a hammered piedfort, though. ;)

That would be hugely expensive! Wouldn't it? What is the most valuable/rare one you have and the hardest to find do you think? I have the £5 Elizabeth 1st and £2 Bank of England

My father-in-law took to collecting Royal Mint products for a while and subsequently gave them to me. This was one of the purchases. He gave me a good start at a date run of 20thC sovereigns as well. :D

The only trouble is that I now find I need to keep all of them at the bank.

Best I can do for an Anne R&P from my collection (shilling) ... I am sure others can do much better but my pockets are not deep enough, or I wasn't collecting 20 years ago!

Is that a P or F counterstamped onto the top left plume?
