EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 5:20 pm I'm just getting started with UK coins (going for a rulers set). I have always enjoyed the half penny's with the ship on the reverse and I couldn't pass this up for inclusion in my set for George VI. Eye appeal is amazing. What do you think? I know it's not exactly rare, but I don't often see coins this old (and it's not really that old) with this kind of mint luster. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 9:11 pm Sailing ships always look good on coins. When they have nice lustre, (coins that is), that helps. It isn't too hard to get a monarch set of great Britain / English coins back to Charles 2nd. Gets a bit harder if you try that in silver, albeit in low grades. Only the Commonwealth and Cromwell coins are really tough for a collector on a modest budget. Edited by sel_69l 01/28/2014 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/29/2014 10:04 am I'm not sticking to any one kind of metal or denomination, though I am trying to maintain decent eye appeal for whatever grade I can find and afford. I am trying to go back all the way to William I. I already have two monarchs from before Charles II (Edward I and Elizabeth I). Report this Post to the Staff
