Mervyn Mitton Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 This is the red leather Morocco box for a set of coins - all 1937 - the Coronation year of King George 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
