I just found this listing for a Maundy set .
Would you even contemplate buying these?

:swoon: .... Crikey I didn't realise that using 2x2s was that expensive.

Ouch. We have a nice original 1902 matte proof maundy set that is stored in really nice SAFLIPS after being removed directly from the 1902 Short Proof set box it's lived in for the last 113 years

Overlapping coins hides a multitude of sins.

There was a Maundy coin in the MNS auction the other night. Went for a pretty penny too.

That looks like a rather nice set, I don't think it will stay on your books for long. :good:

The way PP packs a coin I could get her to send me a quails egg and it would arrive in perfect condition :good:

Not necessarily with Australia Post. My wife once received a box of china, flattened with tyre track right across it.
OK, accidents happen but why did they just leave it at the front door and sneak off -we were home at the time. Good customer relations would have been to personally deliver it along with an apology and a claim form. Maybe even to give us a phone call earlier in the delivery process -they had her name and address and we are listed in the phone book.
We presume it fell off a loading dock and was not noticed until after the truck departed. [And then everyone pretended it must have been about to happen after it left their hands.]
