Each year since 1970, the Royal Mint has produced special editions of coin sets for collectors, which are also ideal as gifts. We have a few of the 1983 United Kingdom coin sets, produced by the Royal Mint.

There are two variations of the 1983 coin sets available:-

• Eight Coin Proof Set
  "Proof" coins are specially struck with great care and attention. The dies are highly polished on the flat surfaces, with a frosted finish on the design, the blanks from which the coins are struck are also polished before striking (minting), so that the finished coins show their designs to the absolutely best effect. The raised relief parts of the design have a frosted finish, and stand out from the background (field) which has a mirror finish. Each coin is carefully inspected prior to packaging, and is guaranteed to be perfect and without any blemish.
  1983 proof sets contain:
  New pound coin, featuring the Royal Coat of Arms.
  The other seven circulating coins, 50 pence, 20 pence, 10 pence, 5 pence, 2 pence, 1 penny, and half penny.
  All superbly packaged in a specially designed plastic case, and housed within an attractive blue leatherette wallet.

• Eight Coin Uncirculated Set
  Contains the same eight coins as the proof set, from the Pound down to the Halfpenny.
  Although not struck to the same standards as the proof coins, these coins are also specially examined and selected before packaging. They are all superior to the mass produced coins which are made for circulation because of the absence of bag marks and scratches.
  They are also packaged in a colourful attractive and informative folder.
  

• Seven Coin Uncirculated Set
  Contains the same seven coins as the uncirculated set excluding the One Pound, from the Fifty Pence down to the Halfpenny.
  Although not struck to the same standards as the proof coins, these coins are also specially examined and selected before packaging. They are all superior to the mass produced coins which are made for circulation because of the absence of bag marks and scratches.
  They are also packaged in a colourful attractive and informative folder.
