The £5 arrived today and my set is finally complete. All the Silver and Gold are Matte Proofs. Every thing is UNC.

That's a stunning set and tremendous achievment!

 

Did you take all the images yourself? How long did it take to finish the set?

[truthteller]

Quite impressive!

I'm confused. You have a small (silver?) "1 pence" in the set, and a large (copper/bronze?) "penny". I thought "penny" was another name for "1 pence". Educate me, please.

That is just a Fantastic Piece of Work.

 

Excellant.

F-ing awesome, Cosmic. I've been meaning to start collecting Med. Euro. silver crowns. Older than what you got, but I still appreciate the diversity afford me by our shared hobby!

Thanks guys this was a great set to assemble. I may someday add the Gold Coronation medals too but this set definitely emptied my wallet for awhile.

 

Now some answers.

 

Yes I took all the pictures and put the web-page together.

I started this set in January 2003.
