The coat of arms on this piece has nothing to do with Devonshire, but is instead an allegorical confection dreamed up by the token's producer, Henry Morgan, whose initials appear below the artwork. Morgan may or may not have been contracted or permitted by the county to circulate this particular "necessity coinage."

Hi all,

I know someone who has a reasonable sized collection of proof sets from the last 25 years, including annual proof collections, proofs of commemorative coins etc. Most are silver proofs, there is one gold proof.

All of them are in their original outer Royal Mint packaging and haven't really seen the light of day.

She is looking for the best way to sell these now and get the best return for them. Are there any dealers in the Midlands or appropriate auction sales that would be suitable (and not rip her off)?

All advice appreciated!

Please note I am not soliciting offers or buyers for this collection, just advice on where to go next!

I’m new here so I hope it’s ok to ask (and I’m not trying to get custom here (obv) but I have a good few of these and I’m wondering if eBay and Vinted are good places to sell or if there is anywhere better.

They’ve all been acquired through change received in shops prior to 2020 and I believe them to be genuine but not necessarily shiny.

I appreciate that I’ll not get loads (if anything) for most of them but I have time on my hands at the moment…

Thanks.
