That's right down my street. I once had the pleasure of owning an UNC 1860 half penny with lustre, it is a really nice coin. Where did you get the photo from? Is the coin for sale?
I can understand your reasons for having your coins "slabbed and graded" but I would be reluctant to have mine "slabbed and graded" because the whole feel of the nicely presented collection in a nice cabinet would be gone.

It is a very formidable collection you have there! I am helping research prices for Chris. I am mostly involved in half pennies but I help out as much as I can. I especially like your selection of half pennies, I collect 1900-1936 ones though.
How much would you be prepared to pay for a copy of Peck (second edition) everyone? Also, could anyone who already has a copy tell me how much they paid for it because I need some sort of a price guide for the book.
The 1806 penny that you want being sold by Colin Cooke James is very over-priced. If you waited then you could probably pick up one for £100 less on Ebay.
