Free Wedding set coins

trout · June 12, 2016, 05:43:47 PM

I have 6 wedding set coins that I am willing to donate to any collector that has never seen one of these coins "In Hand" so that they can see for themselves the difference between these and a standard circulating coin.
Here is the list of what is available, first in best dressed and one coin per member.
You must have 50 posts to be able to participate as per forum buy/sell rules.
Simply pick which coin you would like and it is yours :ok:

That's a kind offer Jim. I have seen wedding set coins and compared them with others so I will not take advantage.
I do recommend to those who have not had that chance to avail themselves of the offer as the comparison is certainly instructive.

very kind offer Jim , but not for me , but I can take a guess about who I think will take up your offer , and they are the kind of people that I don't take to kindly to . sorry but that is the way I feel . and that is my trouble ,not anybody else's . ,, kel ,,

I always thought that they were only made in the standard coins i.e. devlin's designs

All the designs for the early Wedding Set coins were the same as for circulating coins for each particular year.
They were just minted in a far superior way :ok:
This is why if you look at the PCGS pop reports the coins that are graded MS in super high grades occur from 2002-2009 and these MS69-70 coins have to be Wedding set coins because in reality MS68 is an outstanding achievement for a regular circulation coin.
Most Wedding set coins will grade MS68 with ease .

oh thanks
didn't know that
I got my daughter the 2009 set - it was the ordinary designs
very nice ? might be proof can't remember

Very generous Trout!
I bought my own set - mostly because of your enthusiasm for these.
They are very,very nice!
If you are a regular here and don't have one of these coins, you should definately take up this very generous offer!

I have the first issue of the Wedding Sets as an example of the difference between the different finishes on coins.

A very truly nice offer.

True Specimens and now PCGS recognise them as such

Would like to try my hand at a few pics of these and would then be happy to send them on to someone else if required.:angel:

That sounds like a plan, I already have these but I would like to see the Robster pics.

You may find this difficult to believe, but these are one of those things I didn't get around to acquiring. Pencil me in at the bottom of the list, mate, and if there's anything left over, I'd like to check one out. Happy to pass it along afterwards too... Hmm, wonder if there might be a talk at MNS on this subject, perhaps?

Special guest speaker, the troutski? Its a good topic in any case. A lot has been written about it on here already. I'm glad I completed my set, they won't be any easier to acquire now.

FIFO? (Fly In, Fly Out) He should be used to that.

But.. who pays the fares? :shok:
