Coronation Year - 1937

[Mervyn Mitton]

This is the red leather Morocco box for a set of coins - all 1937 - the Coronation year of King George 6th.

The coins are obviously representitive of those available in 1937. There are three small one

that appear to be missing. Since there are 2 pennies and 4 pennies in silver present, I am

wondering if the Maundy set for that year was included ? There are two separate shillings

with different designs

With the missing ones I expect the value will be low - however any ideas on these will be

helpful. Mervyn

A closer view of the coins. All preDecimal, of course.

The 1937 proof silver and bronze set included, crown, halfcrown, florin, English and Scottish shilling, sixpence, silver and nickel brass threepence, penny, halfpenny and farthing as well as the maundy set (4 3 2 and 1 pence). You are lacking the silver currency threepence and the maundy penny. A complete set now sells for around £250. Even with the deficiencies it should still be worth £150.

All the best,

Paul
