More like a children's book of anatomy required, with a particularly large section on asses and elbows.

I think the market did a good job of separating the wheat from the chaff. The 1846 3d possibly (from afar) and 1847 3d especially being exceptions (in each case the whole Maundy set seemed a better bargain - but even these were not too exuberant). The 1841 3d went higher than I hoped and it was great to see the robust little 1851 3d do well. I picked up the 1836 groat. The 1847/8 groat was in my view the best piece among them and it got a reasonable price. The NGC slabbed 1853 groat “currency” was rejected by the market as it deserved.
