    Will the set be allowed to leave Britain? Remember the gold Offa penny a few years ago that Alan Davisson bought and then it got held up in litigation and then couldn't be taken out of the country.

    Wish I had a few mill burning a hole in my pocket.

    I'd love to see some big pictures of that set.

    Interesting differences between this set and the subsequent 1937 GVI set:

    * Scottish shilling only - no English reverse had been planned
    * No maundy set
    * The gold pieces are included in the EVIII set.

    I remember reading that the Duke himself had owned one of the coins from the set that was broken up.
    He wanted an example as a keepsake.

    I can't see a half sovereign and the full one has a strange look. The farthing must have been the piece that everyone touched. That's a set for MrEureka. image
