Here is the 1951 Penny I got graded at CGS UNC 85

I bought the 1871 penny for a hammer price of £1,700. I've been in the market for a high grade specimen for quite some time, but this is the first time that I've seen a combination of condition attributes so pleasing to my sense of esthetic values. I'm glad to hear that Vicky agreed with my assessment of this coin's virtues.

Re: the 1871 - £800 to £1000 was an incredibly low estimate for a coin of such quality. Which is basically consistent with all we have said about their estimates being on the low side, and more often than not, being surpassed, sometimes by many orders of magnitude.

Yes very pleased all my latest are slabbed. I am trying to complete the two years with only slabbed coins. As for the rest I am happy not having slabbed. Its graded at 80 if that helps, as I say very please. I have most of the 1951 set some are proofs and others normal but all slabbed, is it ok to collect them like this or should a set be of all normal coins or all proofs. I do have a complete proof set for 1951 now in its original case. When I get time I will post some more pics of the new acquisitions. But for the moment I cannot stop admiring them.

Got the James II sixpence listed as 1686 ESC 773, I think it is 1686 - 6 over 6 & 8 over 6 - ESC774

See what you've done @PWA 1967

My George III 1799 Halfpenny, mines probably the bog standard , as just beeen taking my own photo's to show someone. Purely coincidence.
