The early years… While the RAM did issue Mint Sets from 1969, the coins were housed, until 1983, in basic, unsealed plastic wallets – nothing at all like our splendid new Year Set packs! With an extensive array of sets available, this is an irresistible opportunity to secure early decimal dates in Uncirculated quality!
With no 1967 & 1968 Mint Sets, coins struck in these years can only be secured from circulation. It isn’t possible to obtain the 1c & 2c from change, of course, and even if you do find the 5c, 10c or 20c, they will be in well circulated condition. As a result, the coins of 1967 & 1968 are among the scarcest of the decimal series in mint state – as here! Presented in our sensational new Year Set packs, this is your chance to secure the scarce 1967 & 1968 sets in strictly Uncirculated quality!

Excessively rare Great Depression £10! Issued in the tiniest of numbers throughout the Great Depression, the 1927 £10 Riddle/Heathershaw is a great Australian rarity in the upper echelons of quality – as here. Australia’s £10 represented more than two week’s wages for those lucky enough to have a job in the tumultuous days of the Great Depression. Given its huge spending power, it’s no surprise that this high denomination note was considered far too valuable to set aside as a keepsake. The penultimate £10 of the 1923-33 Gold Payable Series, when notes were backed by gold, the 1927 £10 Riddle/ Heathershaw is typical of all £10 notes of the era – rare in any grade and astonishingly rare in the superior good Extremely Fine condition seen here. Seldom seen in such a magnificent state of preservation, this outstanding example will elevate any serious collection to a new level.
