I have a copy of a letter from the Royal Mint dated 1934 stating the number minted as 6 and have first hand knowledge of each one's current wherabouts. Two incidentally reside just several miles from Llantrisant ! The other privately owned is in Scotland.
These coins were not to be minted because of the 1933 and 1934 (Gold Reserve Act) of the United States. Meaning that the United States bought all gold , silver and copper on the stock exchange
Hi Simon. The beautiful wooden cabinets in the Museum were made in the 1970s by the cabinet maker Tim Swann. They have not been treated with beeswax but the Museum is kept at a constant temperature and humidity so the risk of warping to the wood is very low.
@@royalmintmuseum718 Thanks for the reply. I have come across many mahogany cabinets including Swann. Your cabinets remains very pale in colour, I don't know if this is camera lighting, choice of wood, finishing or something else? Mahogany is reddish brown and tend to go dark over time possibly due to exposure to UV lights.
@@royalmintmuseum718 Wood breathes and dries out over time. Also look at refeshing the surface appearance. The finger oils left on the trays over the years might needed treating. Worth seeking expert advice.
Spent my entire childhood checking my pennies, all kids did if I recall.

How do you look after your coin cabinets? Do you use beeswax or leave them alone?
Central heating can cause the wood to dry out and warp.
