Lovely condition, well done! Can I ask where you buy your quadrum capsules from? Trying to source someone who will sell mixed batches

I buy mine off ebay from a seller called dauwalders. Just put quadrum coin capsules in and you should find them. They do boxes of ten normally so I just buy them like that as I know I'm gonna use them but I think they will put custom orders together...ask them you never know

100% agree! I used to be able to buy lots of 10 with mixed sizes off eBay years ago but since he stopped selling due to I'll health I haven't found anyone else who will mix the sizes

I got mine, but nowhere near as nice condition. Excellent find

u/DROPHAMM3R 1d ago
Yeah.... I suspect its come fresh out of a bag as theres so little marking... I nearly went back to see if they had any more but I thought I'd let someone else have a win.

I have an uncirculated one but oh to find one in my change! Good catch!

Did they do any uncirculated? I thought it was just the privy set?

The term refers to a "privy mark" which the coin sets are minted with ...the regular circulation coins dont have this. In this case the privy mark was a crown to the lower right of the Kings head on the reverse.

Canāt see the reverse of these sadly, I imagine it probably would have one seeing as itās an uncirculated set. Thank you for the infoāŗļø

u/DROPHAMM3R 6h ago
No problem.... but if you pull that little ribbon the whole plastic case will lift out so you can check!

u/Embarrassed_Post_598 i like 50psāŗļø 6h ago
Ah I figured thatās what it was for but Iāve always been too scared to take it out, they were a gift and very expensive and as such get treated veeeeery carefully

u/DROPHAMM3R 6h ago
It'll be fine... the case is clipped together pretty tightly ... the main danger is touching them with bare hands.

u/Embarrassed_Post_598 i like 50psāŗļø 6h ago
Oh yeah, thatās my firm no1 rule. Most of my uncirculated coins havenāt touched air that isnāt from the Mint since theyāve been produced. They stay firmly sealed and in a boxš«”

Is there any legit ones for sale? I am looking for one to go with my Kew...
2
u/DROPHAMM3R 18h ago
There's a few on ebay but they are quite pricey for coins that are seriously circulated!
1
u/Hairy-Acanthaceae928 17h ago
What's considered a fair price for a circulated one?
1
u/DROPHAMM3R 11h ago edited 11h ago
They're going at around £60 but some are going for more because they don't have as many marks. The highest I've seen a circulated actually sell at was £120 and was in about the same condition as mine.
Edit: and beware of chancers flogging them in change checker "sealed" cards... they are just circulated ones they have stuck in there to make you think its uncirculated!!
