Elizabeth II, 1995 Royal Mint Deluxe Proof Set

1994 was a year to remember, The Channel Tunnel was officially opened by the Queen and the French President, Nelson Mandela became president of South Africa, classic films such as Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump were then released. The year also marked the 300th anniversary of the Bank of England. In 1994 The Royal Mint also issued its usual Mint Set of coins in Specimen Uncirculated. We have a small group where the outer folder is a bit worn, but the coins inside are perfect. You get 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p not issued for regular usage, 20p, 50p 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, £1 Scottish and £2 300th anniversary of the Bank of England. Some of these coins are tough to get especially in Specimen Uncirculated condition...

8 coin proof set in original Royal Mint packaging.

In 1984 the Royal Mint issued the last coins and the last Proof Sets with the Machin bust of Queen Elizabeth II. In this Proof Set, there is a total of 5 (Five) coins not issued for circulation!!! This 1984 Proof Set contains the £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p, 1p & 1/2p. Of these the 1/2p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 50p coins were not issued for circulation. If these were American coins, they would sell for at least £100 each or £700-£1,000 for the group and that doesn’t include the Proof coins that were issued for circulation. We think this last Proof Set of the Machin bust is very exciting. Remember 5 coins in this Proof Set were not issued for circulation.
