Circulation Issues : Presentation Folders : Base metal Proofs : Silver Proofs : Silver Piedfort Proofs : Other Proofs
Two pound coins are not only issued for circulation, but also sold in folders
or sets issued by the Royal Mint. In some cases these differ from those issued
for circulation, and are otherwise distinguished by the lack of bag marks which
result from the mass production treatment used for those issued for circulation.
In recent years some designs were not issued for circulation.
Proof coins manufactured from specially polished dies under high pressure to
show the full detail of the designs are made in gold or silver as well as base metal.
Silver 'piedfort proof' versions are made using blanks twice as thick as normal.
It is stressed that the following prices are a guide only, and in UK pounds. I can take no personal responsibility for their accuracy, although every effort has been made to ensure that they have been copied correctly.

The lack of a value for a grade means that its value is little more than face, or too new to have an established value.
