I am undecided about moving into small cent specimens, but bought this one for a possible type set. PCGS SP66 Red, ICCS SP-67 Red (old embossed two letter cert). Click on the photo to expand it. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/36632484 |

I guess you can call that a "top of the mountain" coin, there doesn't seem to be a better than that one out there standing that tall

Very nice!! I collect Elizabeth II and George VI specimen 1 cent strikes, but the daunting cost of a George V specimen 1c collection is a big commitment - maybe someday, but not in this decade...

It is probably impossible to beat Stewart's George V specimen set.

Completion would be darn near impossible... let alone be the top set... (especially if you included the 1936 dot specimen).

There is also a 1920 small cent specimen cent that is probably unique. Sold in the Cook sale.
