    When did you say those boxes were made? THAT box looks Edwardian. Note the period after the date on the box, and the whole style of the lettering and all. That's gotta be a contemporary box. Too bad it don't match the coins.

    Nice set. I ain't surprised to see some Maundy sets gettin' a boost.

    Maundy money, since 1820 or so, is specially minted coinage that is given to the poor by the reigning monarch. Before 1820 I believe it was just regular coinage, but I'm sure wybrit can shed more light on this.

    EEk...




    << <i>Modern Maundy sets consist of four coins, penny, twopence, threepence, and fourpence, but in the days of Edward II, only silver pennies would have been distributed, even though fourpences known as groats would have been available. The other two denominations were not introduced until later, 1551 in the case of the threepence, and 1660 for the twopence. It was possibly in 1667 that all four denominations were given for the first time. >>




    There is a major error in that. I'm quite surprised at Chard for missing it. As most British coin collectors will know there were such things as halfgroats way back in the reign of Edward III, introduced in the 1340s?. It's true that halfgroats were not around in Edward II's reign but they were around for hundreds of years before 1660!

    How are the prices on the post 1909 ones?
  • newsmannewsman Posts: 2,658 ✭✭✭
    Prices on post-1909 sets seem to track closely with the prices of Victorian ones, with the exception of the proof 1937. The cheapest Maundy sets seem to be the ones of Edward VII.

    wow... I guess I am (as usual) behind the times on the price movements.

    I got one for $125 recently, unslabbed. That's about as cheap as I've seen any Maundy sets.

    What are the hot Monarchs for Maundy Sets these days?

    Looking at completed items on eBay, just about all of them are hot except Edward VII. Some of them went for what I would consider obscene prices. image

    Here's an Eddie VII set that seems reasonable if you're interested.
  • wybritwybrit Posts: 6,967 ✭✭✭
    It is an interesting contradiction. Edward VII is a "hot" monarch for all regular issue coinage, yet the Maundy material is quite common and affordable. Coincraft offers an decent explanation that sets of Edward VII were available at banks for years up to and including 1908. After that, coins were distributed only though the ceremony.

    The case appears genuine in spite of the "incorrect date."
