is that just for chichester or all, the dies were made centrally and sent out tot he provincial mints ?

is that a known thing for the 5b3 chichester, the broken eye punches

did find this and it mentions the CC makers mark if you read thru it http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30437

the gold collar is marked LIVINGSTON ROE Jr

end of the gold butt

briggs have been going since about 1780, thats what i made it 1903, yet brigs say the umbrella is around 60 years old, have asked if the gold bits are contemporary with the rest

can anyone help with the marks, i got it to 1903 ???? form a briggs umbrella, many thanks in advance

k think its a 5b, ravf at chichester

i have it down as john, 6b, confused by the mint moneyer, the mint starts with c, chichester ? thanks in advance

https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/raf-centenary/ more coins not included in the annual set

i must confess to buying the set, at £52 its not bad, a little novelty thing, £910 for the lot in silver proof if ya want lol,

i see the royal mint are selling the new 10p's as early strike, i am expecting some degree of frosting like the 2018 penny and sixpence i posted that was confirmed to be brilliant uncirculated

i'm sure i know that finger lol,

shame the set was broken up, were the bronzes there as well

are we having the same with this penny, struck in silver to bu standard according to the royal mint when i asked what strike it was, , looks cameo proof to me ???

thats a beautiful coin, is it yours ????

so why does spinks and davis quote that the vip proof crowns are frosted yet also a standard proof with no mention of frosting for the 1937 and 1953 crown ??? the same with the rare frosted proof 53 half crown from the plastic set, , the standard one is easy to get yet no mention frosted proof for the standard proof, still out on this subject, i know there are 2 versions of the 53 half crown, dots to gratia etc,

but them coins look worse than my set ??? well the silvers, but there is no mention of any other vip denomination and it seems lc seem to make up there own opinion and after recent experiences and knowledge i have gained i believe a lot of dealers are abusing this vip status and that frosted/cameo are not as scarce as they say, i have a slabbed pf 66 1937 cameo half crown and you can see there is something special about it, and them coins in the lc link do not look special, not being rude but if the royal mint cannot answer that question i'm pretty sure you wont be able too,

same here, was thinking of selling my collection to get one

from the plastic set ???

just noticed they have brought more of the 2016 bu ones out, at bottom of page https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/beatrix-potter/?YearSpecified=2018

they only have up to 2013 on the royal mint website, where have you seen the figures

what did theey do tot he first day covers

this will be easier lol
