Royal Mint Modern Issues
Each year since 1970, the Royal Mint has produced special editions of coin sets
for collectors, which are also ideal as gifts.
For 2004, there are five variations of the coin sets available:
-
Ten Coin Uncirculated Set
Contains the ten circulating coins, from the Two Pounds down to the Penny, but please note they do not contain the Crown.
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.
-
Ten Coin Proof Sets
"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.
This years proof sets contain:
-
Standard Proof Set
All superbly packaged in a newly designed plastic case, and housed within
an attractive wallet.
-
Gift Pack Proof Set
The Royal Mint have stopped producing the "Gift Pack" proof sets.
-
Executive Proof Set
As the above Proof Sets, but with a booklet, and housed in a completely redesigned presentation pack, with space for personal mementoes.
In 2000, the executive proof set sold out at the Royal Mint without ever going on open sale. It was then followed by delays while the supplier of the new packaging design tried to iron out problems. We managed to get a very small supply, but despite the Royal Mint sell-out, we found these not to be very popular, if you want them, we will have them.
This year they are in a smart wooden box, which we believe is an improvement on the rather gimmicky plastic ones.
-
De-Luxe Proof Set - In Red Leather Wallet
The de-luxe proof set has returned by popular demand!
Contains all nine denominations, from £5 Crown down to Penny.
Complete in red wallet made of real leather.
2004 Crown
This will be produced in a number of different versions.
The selected Uncirculated "Specimen" version, packaged in an attractive folder is not being produced this year, despite considerable demand from post offices and other outlets. The crowns are not included in either the uncirculated or proof sets this year. Collectors wanting a crown will need to buy them separately, Silver and gold versions are now available.
