Picked this up last week

I have really been on a kick picking up coins and coin sets from my birth year. I got this last week pardon the photos but
these were taken with my wife's Canon which I am not used to using.

Now I am working on some Suid Afrika coins I have my eye on a 1961 proof set.

    Nice holder, I take it it is an after market product.

    Good luck on your birth year set. I've been working on mine for decades and have less than 50% of them.

    61 is near and dear to me as well, still workin on 46, no need to rush these things...
    I've been picking up 61 sets for a while too.
    If I could just hold up half as well as they are...

    Here's my partial 61 South African mint set

    I believe it is the coin holder is part of a beautiful fold out that has the history of this series of UK coinage with a section
    of collectors notes with the scarce and rare dates of 20th century UK coins and dates when these coins were minted and
    years they were not. At the bottom of the coin holder there is a name and address:
    Philip Cohen Numismatics, 20 Cecil Court, Leicester Square, London WC2N 4HE

    I've been to Philip Cohen's shop a couple of times. I found some pretty nice pieces there back when Brit coins were affordable. He had rolls and rolls of BUs from the 60's timeframe.

    He didn't have rolls and rolls of Victorian, though, like Mac has. image

    Pretty soon though, Doogy will have some rolls of Jubilee crowns assembled.


    I believe Wybrit's signature thruppence is one of his many end-toners. image
