I don't know how it compares to previous definitive sets but £75.00 for the BU set is daylight robbery!

I don't know how it compares to previous definitive sets but £75.00 for the BU set is daylight robbery!

Indeed it's very expensive! But will be the last coins ever minted with the queen's portrait…

The sets that have been released recently by the Royal Mint have been very overpriced such as the 40th anniversary of the twenty pence set and all BU/proof sets released in the last 15 years.

And don’t get me started on the 2022 sets where some are going as much as several hundred pounds!

Am slowly adding these to the catalogue. With 8 ‘new’ coins and 4 different metals that's a nice 32 coins to add…. 

I hope these “new” 26|22" privymarked definitive coins are not being added on their own page?

They should just be added to the normal coin page with a mention in the mintage line comment about the privymark.

That what I did because it has no significant change to the coin (such as design change) it’s basically on the same level of importance as coins minted at more than one mint.

Well Peter above says he is adding 32 new coins? Or is he adding 32 new mintage lines?

Mike

We have the convention on the UK side that if the coin is different in design with the addition of a mint mark, then it is given its own page. if it were just a different finish it would be listed in the comments section.

All the privy marked sovereigns have their own pages, as do the special marked 50p, 20p to bring ease of finding the coins, rather than being hidden on a page.

Thanks

You are creating unnecessary pages then in my opinion. Thank god we don't do that on Australian coins or I would be forever making new coin pages.

This is an example of an Australian coin, Rams Head 1 Dollar 2011, that would have 13 different coin pages if we followed your “convention".

N#42702

It has 1 mintmark, 7 privymarks and 5 counterstamps. (All handled with separate mintage lines on one page.)

The Ian Rank Broadly Mob of Roos Standard $1 would have would have 30 separate coin pages.

N#3148

it has 1 normal coin,  2 Mintmarks, 2 counterstamps & 25 Privymarks

The Jody Clark Mob of Roos Standard $1 would have would have 28 separate coin pages. (With more to follow)

N#166235

It has 1 normal coin & 27 Privymarks.

Making a new separate page for a coin that has a tiny mintmark, privymark or counterstamp, is not making it easier to find. I believe you are actually making it harder to find the coin that is hidden on it's own page.

But carry on regardless eh?

Mike

Thanks for the input. If the search function is used correctly then it makes it easier to find the coins. 

I hope to see images of all the privy marks on the listed coins in the appropriate entries. No image it doesn't exist? 

In the same vein I am glad we don't list every piece of packaging just actual coins!

Mike

The 26/22 privy mark issues have been added as new year line entries to the standard definitive pages.

Thanks Rick for seeing the commonsense behind adding them on the normal page. 

If we start creating multiple pages for minor privymarks etc you are just making a rod for your back that will come back to bite you in the future.

Cheers Mike
