I said if i found out any more information I would post it up on the thread. I have found a little more out about the guy whose name , rank etc is edge engraved on the cartwheel penny. He was apparently born around 1784 in Inveravon, Banff, Scotland and died at the ripe old age of 93 from the Flu on November 22nd 1877 in Conval Street , Dufftown. Not a bad innings for a seasoned veteran.  Stu.

The class 3 and 9 coins available in much better grades generally.  

Does anyone have any insight into the relative scarcity of the three Newcastle classes, measured against themselves?    Over the last 3 or 4 years I’ve managed to pick up a class 3 and a class 9 in good grades, but have struggled to find the class 10 in a similarly collectable grade, with the attached coin, bearing the full Edward legend, the best I’ve found to-date.

Quick update, and thanks to @Sword, @Paddy, @Rob and @wlewisiii for the advice back in January. I went with Paddy's option 4 crossed with option 1: the better pieces listed singly, the rest in three job lots, and the storage kit sold separately as Sword suggested. Then some are going to the coin machine in the bank. It indeed took some time! Everything is live now if anyone here is interested.

Just one last point, last night my response to Peter was in response to Peter saying he thinks Im basicially wasting my time looking for coins nobody is interested in, and its only fair I repsond with the facts and my opinion. That clearly put coinery over the edge but its me who is instigating, baiting etc Had Peter of not shared his view on my research and collecting style, I would not feel obliged to share mine in light of this discovery. In respect to your comment about being unhappy with the flood of images, where as Michael was thankful, I would not feel obliged to respond if that statement wasn't made previously. Can we not keep things amicable and coin centric?
