George VI (1936-1952), VIP Proof set, 1937, comprising brass Threepence, Penny, Halfpenny and Farthing. [4]. Brilliant; in original red octagonal case blocked with royal cypher in gilt, very rare (£80-100)

From the same source as the 1937 Proof set which came direct from the Royal Mint. Although not specifically mentioned in the standard works of reference or in the new Coincraft SC, VIP sets like this one are occasionally seen; the cataloguer handled a similar one in 1980
