Either way, still a good price. Quote

Peter Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I paid over £50 for the proof set in a red box.The cheapo plastic sets minus the Crown are dirt cheap. Quote

Check the farthing in particular : if the + above Elizabeth's head, and the T of farthing on the reverse both point to the same thing (i.e. a space or a tooth), then you have one of the scarce varieties 1+B scarce or 2+A rare; if they point to different things, then it's one of the two common varieties 1+A or 2+B.

pies Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Cheers all I know its not the proof set I've learnt that much Quote
Nick Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Cheers all I know its not the proof set I've learnt that much There are varieties for each and every 1953 denomination so they are all worth examining. Quote

Peckris Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Just checked me farthing and i have a 1 + B Any idea on value its unc BU value is between £20 and £30 - if it becomes more popular, that could go up a fair way (undervalued IMO). Quote

Peckris Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 reverseNice You've got a plethora of reverse indicators - the downstrokes of the R T I or N can all be used as pointings Quote
