Pleased to have located and bought a decent F164 specimen, now freed from its NGC slab (MS64, No 1754587-007 slabbed 25.7.07). They're actually quite tricky to get, especially in decent grade.

I'm sure the the 37 Edward VIII and 1808 would do well at Spink , although peronsally if they were mine I would get them slabbed and put them into Heritage....I feel that they would do better in the US with the Investor / Collector type out there ...just my opinion.

Thanks Ian. There is a bit of a back story to this one. I noticed this coin on Michael & Rendel Ingram's website a few weeks ago. I wasn't prepared to buy it at that stage though, because whilst it had potential, the photograph was appalling. As a former customer and enquirer, I then received a "how are you, is there anything else you are interested in?" type e mail from them. To which my reply was possibly, but could you send me a better pic. I received the pics below - still awful and they couldn't even be bothered to take it out of the plastic wallet. As a result I then asked if I could have the coin on approval, without paying the money up front. This was agreed to, and having then received the coin, decided to buy it. In hand it was good, but their photography is dreadful.

Depends if you left one lying around.
