Sign of the times or lack of interest in the lots? Maybe just ambitious reserves. I’ll have to go take a peek. just looked. I guess my lowball bid for the trial plates wasn’t accepted. Nothing that I cannot live without in either part A or B.

It is a nice touch by NGC either way.

Thank you NGC for the surprise I received along with the nice award plaque. I was not expecting the award holder (Morgan) and appreciate it very much. Sorry for the bad photo, I should have wiped the dust of the holder before snapping the photo.

Have you researched the history of these yet? What do you know about them? Really not what you are asking about, but would be educational for others in the forum who are unfamiliar. Such as info about he Hasbergs and mint. You might try and reach out to someone like Hans Dieter and ask about them. He may or may not be able to help.

I wouldn’t mind picking one of these up:

Interesting coin, I’m having fun learning a bit about it. No clue on varieties yet. Welcome to the forum.

Just ordered what should be an interesting read. I attended a presentation on how the Sovereign helped win WW I, but this book includes the Tudor period through WW I. Just thought I would mention the book if anyone might be interested.

Easy to solve the alignment issue. Tapping as above or just about anything that vibrates gently. Roger’s toothbrush works well. I use a demes tool.

Love them and the peace series in general.

Looks like she has a black eye. Just the lighting of course.

Good book - it is worth reading.

Baldwin lives - sort of: Dear Customers, As a new year starts so does a new chapter for Baldwin's and Stanley Gibbons as both brands are acquired by Strand Collectibles Group. Baldwin's, already a global name in numismatics, will now broaden our horizons to encompass all collectibles auctions, including coins, medals, stamps, trading cards, comic books, video games, sports memorabilia and more in the coming years curated by our in house experts including the Baldwin’s Coins & Stanley Gibbons specialists you will know so well. The schedule for the coming months, led by Iain Murphy, Managing Director of Baldwin's Auctions already boasts some exceptional philatelic, numismatic and pop culture auctions, setting a pace we expect to see increase further still throughout the year. To support new and existing auction categories we have recently unveiled our brand new platform www.baldwins.co, (note: the new domain is .co not .co.uk or .com) designed and built by our team based on your feedback to bring the joy of collecting to the auction experience. Neil Paisley, MD Baldwin's Coins, and the team will continue to buy and sell rare British, ancient and world coins. They will be at the New York International Numismatic Convention next week and the York Stamp & Coin Fair later in the month. Stanley Gibbons will continue to serve the philatelists of today with the products and services which epitomise our expertise and meticulous attention to detail such as Catalogues and Price Lists. This year we publish the 127th Edition of the Commonwealth & British Empire (1840-1970) catalogue, still receiving contributions from Dr Philip Kinns after over 50 years of distinguished service. Victoria Lajer, MD Stanley Gibbons, and her team will also launch a new digital catalogue collecting experience in 2024. Designed to help you throughout your collecting journey, starting with identifying and finding items all the way to keeping track and improving your collections. Features we're confident will endear the product to a new generation of philatelists. I am conscious that we bear huge responsibility as the stewards of these storied organisations. Honouring the past while creating a rich and sustainable legacy is our goal here – not least because that is how we may offer the very best care and attention to detail for collectors acquiring, or parting with, treasured possessions. By harnessing the heritage and the unique expertise from both brands, I’m confident your experience will feel both reassuringly familiar and significantly enhanced.

I appreciate it Mike and I thank NGC for the honor.

Thank you Coinbuf for the recognition, I was surprised and delighted to receive the award.

It all works, until it don’t. And the don’t could happen anytime. Now or ten years from now, but it will happen.

Agree 100%

But not legend numismatics her main business.

Sadly will miss it, but it would be a priority for me if I made the trip. Good luck.

Wow - what great acquisitions. I was possibly the underbidder for the 1800 (assassination), maybe it was another. I put it out of my memory. The 1773 Virginia half penny is a 25 M correct? So many nice ones, I am not sure which one is my favorite. Well done.

Nice Job!
