Welcome DrP. There are threads on pennies, and a sales board so you could take your pick.

Apart from the 1953 set which could cost you £800-1000.

Suspect information volunteered rather than requested!

He's taking us for a ride!

you could try a run of any date maundy coin of all the kings and queens from victoria to elizabeth that would be fun and quite cheap - if you are not bothered by grade you could pick up plenty maundy singles it would not take you long - remember maundy odds are very cheap on their own the value is in having a full set in ef- unc grade

I have a date run from 1900 to 1967 and I have bought one or two loose but tried to stick to sets as much as possible. As said by Rob Maundy coins were not issue as sets and the boxes were sold as an extra should the recipient wish to buy one or two, they may have been given one free. If you do make up a set a quick dip will sort out any toning issues.

No problem Jerry, I am happy to try and help and I hope they are what you are after

Although maundy money is mostly found in sets, there is usually an odd number of loose coins due to the distribution reflecting the age of the monarch. Some people also break sets up, the 3d being the denomination most removed from sets, and usually the same one has to be checked when buying sets because people reconstitute them using a currency 3d in lieu. As to whether they are worth buying individually will depend on what you want. If you want to rebuild sets, then it is a labour of love. Trying to match the toning in a made up set is nigh impossible. If you just want an example of each type, then buying a set is the easiest way. You shouldn't be disheartened by the price of sets. Many people refuse to pay more than £xx for anything, but a coin or set doesn't suddenly become worthless just because you have bought it. Properly looked after, it will retain its value in line with the market.

They do look good. I will try a pack. Thanks, Non. Jerry

Welcome to the forum DrP, it seems everyone must've been at the pub when you first posted, don't be disheartened by the lack of responses They'll be along soon enough. I don't know too much about collecting maundy, although a set of my birth year is certainly on the list. I'm not too sure why people would separate the sets but I suppose needs must and it's got to happen to some of them. Well done on picking up the 2 pence for a fiver though, not too shabby at all.
