I have two piedforts. The 1990 & 1994. Picked them up cheap a few years ago as investments.

Nice set, i unfortunately didn't have the cash to go with the foresight when these were at a reasonable price.

Given all the recent media hype, I can imagine these will probably do remarkably well now

they still are fairly cheap, seen the 83 piedfort going for less than 50 quid

I brought a 1984-1987 piedfort £1 set a few years back for ca £60. It was the only occasion I brought anything decimal. I guess I brought them for sentimental reasons as I remember getting them for pocket money when I was a lad. The presentation case is also very nice too. It is a shame that the Royal Mint can't be bothered to make nice cases for similar sets later on.

That is a nice collection, and I agree - the RM do seem to be cheaping out on the quality of presentation these days, mlking every last drop of profit from their sales with flimsy cars and cheap plastic abound.
