Hi .After a good response on my last want.Looking for a 1950 proof penny ,however must be mint with no toning or ribbon mark.Good price paid and would consider the proof set if thats better for you.However as stated the penny must be mint.

That's a tough one. Needs to be from a set that was split a long time ago.

That's an unusual one - the usual demand is for a BU non-proof specimen.

[azda 973]

Let me know how you get on at LC and will take it from there. Edit: you do realise lot 677 is a 1953 set and not 1950 that you wanted

Just had to check and yes think i have bid on the wrong item thanks azda,although not received any confirmation from them yet and no set that appears suitable.Sending me dafter than i am i have put that many bids in.

[azda 973]

Lot 675 is the one you'll be looking for

[PWA 1967 1,841]

To show my ignorance azda why not 720

[Peckris 579]

720 also looks like what you want.

[azda 973]

720 also looks like what you want.

Agreed

It's just one of those things - penny collectors don't want the proof as a high grade currency example is scarcer, proof collectors usually want the whole set. So proof pennies don't seem to come up all that often.

We've got two problems here. The first is that the coins are usually found with toning from the ribbon, so a set that has been undisturbed for the past 60 years is unlikely to do the job. The second is that you need a set which was broken up early on. There won't be that many about. Sets that have been broken up at a later stage are likely to have been done for a reason i.e. there is some impairment which makes keeping it intact the worse option. I picked up a set a month ago which had horrible verd on two coins (6d & 2/6d). Don't know why, but the rest and the box were ok except they all had a toning mark from the ribbon. I think you will have a difficult job finding one tbh.

Penny collectors would want one of each.

Your comments are spot on rob ,ribbon mark or toned.Only a cheap coin i have the currency one in a high grade and easy to pick up.Thought the proof would of been a lot easier to find.Numerous about but will wait for a mint one.A lot scarcer in mint condition than i expected
