Looks like a real winner now , I would try it sometime with a suitable coin I am sure you have at least doubled the coins value , its not worth a fortune but there again who wants to experiment with really valueable coins.

1972 proofs compared to other proof sets might pay an interesting look - same situation.

The 2024 Salmon 50p is actually selling for £22 at the moment (ignoring the silly prices people are asking for) and around £50 for a full set.
Will be interesting to see what happens in the next six months or so.
I imagine a slow upward curve might happen

It is a moot point whether the undecimo gothic crown is a pattern. Firstly 8000 were produced which is high for a pattern. In addition, it also gained legal tender status unlike non-adopted patterns. Hence, some did circulate as currency.
If I have to take a position, I would call it a limited issue rather than a pattern.
Wreath crowns are not generally considered patterns either.
I suppose if any shopkeeper was offered up a gothic crown they would be a bit daft to not take it for face value seeing as coins were bought and sold as antiques in victorian times .
Wreath crowns come into the same bracket

Then it gets really difficult with the gothic (pricey rather than rare), William IV, high grade George IV, high grade Young Head. That's why I started other denominations.
Were gothic crowns ever currency ?
Thought they were patterns.

Type sets are easy till you hit wreath crowns and 1902 crowns

Thanks copper123. Those trays do look nice and £25 is a fair price but I wish they were still £12.
so do I, blame putin , they are still good value at £25

The five tray coin boxes that were in lidl arround fouryears ago for £11.99 were fantastic there are a few on ebay still available for around £25 , I am pretty sure you will not see the old price again ever

1735
I struggled with that date too in my collection until I was able to compare examples of both dates.
unfortunately 1735 and 36 are both common
