Elizabeth II, Proof Set 1973 (Medium toning)
The 1973 Proof Set is a difficult one to get. Many of these sets have been spoiled by corrosion. All of the 1973 Proof Sets have medium to heavy toning, but some of them are so dark that we have to break them open and bank them. This was probably because of the glue they used to hold the pad down, too much rubber cement which gives off sulphur fumes. The sets we have on offer have medium toning which is quite hard to get. Each set contains the 50p, our first commemorative, 10p, 5p, 2p, 1p and 1/2p. Each set comes in the plastic case as issued with the red card wrapper. Nice sets of the 1973 issue are very difficult to find.
