1893 1,2,3,4 pence coin set

[Guest ianw]

Hi all,

I just came across this set of coins and was hoping someone might tell me something about them, including what they may be worth. They are tiny little coins, dated 1893. Are they really from 1893 or from some commemerative set. I have higher res scans if needed.

I'm from Canada,so I am just guessing they are "pence", course, I could be wrong.

My thanks for any information.

Ian.

Hello Ian,

It is indeed a set of pence coins, a Maundy set.

Worth around the £90-£100 mark to sell or £140 mark if you were buying.

These are issued every year by the reighing king/queen...not a lot of collectors as they were never in circulation apart from the 3d...about £80 to £100 max

nice for a keepsake but not a sought after series.

I haven't even tried to get some and being an avid collector says a lot.

Maundy money is enjoying quiet a revival at the moment. Their price has doubled in the last 12-18 months
