Three Transportation Tokens

In 1968 the Royal Mint in preparations for the change over from Pre-decimal coins to Decimal coins issued a wallet of the new coins. It came in a blue plastic wallet and thus they became known as ‘Blue Wallets’. At one time these sets were as common as muck so to speak. Many of the wallets turned sticky because of the type of plastic they used. So there are now two grades of the wallets sticky and non-sticky. Ask someone today when were the first decimal coins and they are old enough to remember the changeover, they will say 1971 and they will be wrong. Because in these Blue Wallets which contain 1/2p, 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p the 5p and 10p are dated 1968! Today the marketing companies are breaking up these sets for the 1968 5p and 10p and you hardly ever see them. We bought 100 sets from a bank that just had them left over. Half were sticky and half were nice. Here we offer them in the non-sticky plastic case. Please remember the quality is about the case only. You get 1968 5p & 10p plus the 1971 ½, 1 and 2 New Pence all in Uncirculated condition.

This is a beautiful collection of medals that are part of The Worth collection. The medals honour Churchill in World War II. These are silver plated and there are five different crown-sized medals in a handsome presentation case. On the obverse of each medal is a stern portrait of Churchill with the legend ‘We shall never surrender’ and the dates 1874-1965. The medals have full-colour photos of the Heinkel He 111 German bombers present during the Battle of Britain, the Soviet T-34 Medium Tank, the US M4 Sherman Medium Tank, the British Churchill Tank, and the German PZKPFW-V tank. It is a handsome collection and as usual with The Worth Collection, you get all five medals in the presentation case for just £19.50. Try and find a bargain like this anywhere else.
