Complete date set of Edward VII, Silver Threepences Very Good

In the short reign of King Edward VII 1901-1910 the most difficult coin to find in collectable condition is the Florin. As most collectors know the Florin, in general, is the most difficult coin to find. After all the first Florin was only issued in 1849. The trouble with the King Edward VII florins is that the date is in too high a relief. It is on the highest part of the coin, so it is also the first thing to wear off. You would be surprised at how many florins we get offered with the date worn off. Without the date, they are just not good enough for our collectors. We bought a very nice group from a dealer who had been hoarding these Edward VII Florins for years. All his coins had a readable date, so I quickly scooped them up. Add a dated and readable Edward VII Florin to your collection!

In the reign of King George VI many different and important events happened. Without doubt, the most important event was World War II. For the first time, it really was a World War with fighting in Europe, in the Far East, in Africa, and in South America. At that time our coinage was still being struck in Silver, mainly because cupronickel was much more important to the war effort than Silver. We have put together complete date sets of the World War II Silver Sixpences as issued in this country. You get nice circulated examples of the King George VI Sixpence of 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945. Remember that the Silver Sixpence ceased to exist after 1946. You get the complete collection for just £45.50.
