India, East India Company Treasure Coin 1808 Very Good

The Brass Threepence first came into being at the Coronation of King George VI, the current King's grandfather. His were made from 1937-1952. When he died in 1952 Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II. The Brass Threepence was made under Queen Elizabeth II from the Coronation year 1953 until 1967 when the denomination was no longer made for circulation. The Brass Threepence was an odd-shaped strange metal coin but it is one of the most loved of all our modern denominations. After almost a year of negotiations, we have managed to buy an incredible hoard of complete date sets of Queen Elizabeth II Brass Threepences 1953-1967. The sets include all dates including the scarcer ones. It has been some time since we last able to offer this collection and once these sets are gone, it could be quite sometime if ever. We have not wasted money on some fancy presentation because most of our collectors collect coins and not boxes. It also reduced the price we have to ask for these complete collections. You get 1953 (a one-year-only type coin), 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967. All coins are in selected circulated condition. For now, we are keeping our price for the whole collection at just under £13, but as we sell out, we tend to raise the price for the collections. Get them now at the best price!

We have made up collections of the last type of pre-decimal coins issued under the late Queen Elizabeth II. These, of course, are also the last pre-decimal coins ever issued for circulation. You will get hand selected coins in circulated condition, dates will vary as not each denomination was issued every year. You will get the difficult Farthing, Halfpenny, Penny, Brass Threepence, Sixpence, English Shilling, Scottish Shilling, Florin and Halfcrown to complete your collection. All coins are in circulated used condition but have been carefully selected to provide nice quality coins.

Over the years, several towns and communities in the UK have issued their own paper currency. It was intended to circulate in the local community with traders agreeing to accept these special notes alongside more traditional forms of payment. The benefits were that residents were encouraged to shop locally. The Lake District issues, presented here, served as attractive souvenirs if they were not spent. Quite a few towns took up the idea but sadly now, most of the schemes have closed not helped by the lockdowns during the pandemic which increased the number of contactless payments. We were delighted to be able to offer this Lake District Local £1 2018 note, a Pink and yellow note featuring Beatrix Potter and sailing boats on lake in Uncirculated condition.
