Where can I find a replacement 3D 1937 maundy coin?

November 8, 2011 1:57 AM

I have a 1937 King George V1 Specimen Coin set. The 3d maundy coin is missing (my grandma lost it). Where can I find a replacement? I expect the answer will be to contact a dealer, but which one or ones are best suited for this?

Best answer: I have a friend who is a numismatist, and will run the question by him.

OK. Although he is familiar with British specimen sets and maundy coins, and has some in his collection, they are not his specialty. However, he said that your situation is not unusual, and that coin dealers are generally helpful when it comes to finding missing pieces and helping people round out collections. He suggested that you call one of the big coin dealers and ask if they can help you or refer you to someone who can.

He also recommended Sam Sloat Coins, web site here, in Westport, CT. He does business with them frequently, and thinks highly of them.
