Proof Silver Coins of 1929? Do they Exist - Besides the Crown?

[VickySilver]

Has anyone ever seen reference to the existence or sale of the proof 1929 sixpence, shilling, florin or half crown? I have had two definite proofs of the crown & sold one, but have never seen or heard of in private hands any of the other four. There was no currency 3d for that year and assume no proof exists.

Likewise, the entire set of 1945 is elusive, though by memory Norweb had at least the halfcrown, and the sixpence made an appearance.

Certainly don't have any references to sales of these four.

All three bronze denominations exist, so it seems a little strange that the other silvers weren't struck. I wouldn't be surprised if a set turned up given the existence of 1928 and 1930 proofs.

Funny how I have been looking for 25 years and none to show. Some of the other dates of G5 proof silver are very rare and really not recognised as such (ie 1930 halfcrown in proof with possibly only one in private hands, and interestingly such semi-obscure bits as the 1931 proof 3d just sold by DNW with either one or two known in private hands). I can pretty much recite all these by date and denomination as far as how common. I too have seen the bronze proofs of all dates G5.
