1826 Penny also just back from NGC MS65BN ,really nice in hand and again with a lovely tone.

containing these three pray medals

the interior is silvered

Here a beautiful Half crown Box I recently purchased. Made by Joseph Moore dated 1850 It would appear to be the brass or white Metal one reported to Rogers but unseen. # 4055 a it is 32.5 mm and 2.5 mm thick with plain edges . It is silvered inside and contains three prayer plates medals of the ten commandments, and another ( not sure what it is called) The Apostles Creed I think, each of which is 30mm in brass thin and a third 26 mm with the Lords Prayer. This is not the iron foil version held at the Fitzwilliam. I would say it is pretty much uncirculated and the contents likely the originals

Good evening all. I am been extremely fortunate to come in to the possession of a collection of extremely high grade and choice Victorian Pennies amogst them a 1860 Penny Mule example in UNC! Anyway I was wondering if I could ask the experts on this forum for some advice as to this 1881 H example Could someone please confirm my suspension that this is the following example https://rarestpennies.wordpress.com/1881h-f103/ 1881H F103 (Gouby M+p; Freeman 9+M) (R18) Many Thanks I look forward to your responses

I saw that for sale , though expensive it really was quality stuff and i am sure you could have waited at least two or three years till something similar came on the market. I love the box it really is nice , you make me very jealous , moore was a master of lovely little items like this and its in super grade . A fantastic pick up

Yes, it did arrive eventually, after a great deal of pleading and a phone call to Canada. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to take, up close, detailed photos of both numbers and it would be unfair to ask Ian again. Wish I knew someone else, who could undertake such a task? Maybe similar to others that have appeared on this thread. Perchance. 😁

Lovely coin - certainly scarce in THAT condition.

One i have just got back from NGC MS65BN ,lovely tone for a scarce year in high grade.

And all the while everyone was missing the fact this was a unique IENNY
