Completed British 1d typeset 1797 to 1970

I am still working on completing the entire copper and bronze British typeset for the same period, but recently finished an all certified 1d set that is a very nice milestone in the journey. I don't think that spinaker or rhound have ever seen all of these coins at one time, and I've only laid them all out to really enjoy them as a 1d set a few times. Here are my 1ds by major type, in chronological order with grades and such. It has been a fun experience with help along the way from some of my forum buds.
1797 Cartwheel 1d ANACS MS62BRN (should be RB, outstanding rims/edges)
1806 1d ANACS MS64BRN
1826 1d PCGS MS64BRN (should be RB)
1831 1d ANACS AU55 (not sure if I will upgrade next year)
1853 1d ANACS MS63BRN
1863 1d PCGS MS63RB
1889 1d ANACS MS64RB
1901 1d ANACS MS64RD
1902 1d ANACS MS64BRN
1914 1d ICG MS64RB
1927 1d NGC MS64RB
1936 1d ANACS MS65RB
1937 1d ANACS MS65RB
1948 1d NGC MS65RD
1949 1d NGC MS65RD
1964 1d ANACS MS66RD
I also have a raw 1797 Cartwheel two pence that is uncirculated. It doesn't really fit this set but fits my copper set as a whole.
The 1831 Wm III 1d is a very expensive jump to full uncirculated, if one falls into my hands at the 2004 FUN show, I don't think I'll be able to resist the upgrade.

Terry, I hope to put the full run of all denoms up on the web at some point. Maybe next year, or the next.

What a collection...

Well, I think it's 1806, but it could be 1807, I suppose- the date's gone!
Snake Killer, that's a momentous achievement!!! Congratulations. It seems like such an awesome collection, and of course I'd love to see it one day. I didn't know you were such a sl*bophile though... But I understand.

I do have webspace, one domain in my name, but have not uploaded a single photo. I plan on displaying the full pre-decimal copper/bronze typeset (Geo III to Eliz II) of Fractional Farthings through the Cartwheel twopence. I just need to add 5 more coins to complete the entire set of major types. I didn't include border varieties in my collection. After watching ajaan chase them, I decided to stick to a simpler set.
Dimitri, if I could only keep 3 coins, I think they would be the 1797 Cartwheel 1d, the 1826 1d, and the 1831 1d. Though the 1831 is not as struck, it was one of my first older Brit coppers, and I'm still partial to it.
Lloyd, give me another year, and I hope to have the 1/4ds and 1/2ds covered. Basic types only, no varieties. Lots and lots of coins (70+) just to cover the basics. Lloyd, you could assist by finding me an UNC 1844 third farthing, the redder the better!
Rob, bring that 1806/07 to FL in Jan, I'll take it off your hands and make a young Brit copper enthusiast out of someone. I'll even trade you lightside stuff for it.
Jester, yeah, slabs are horrible creatures, but there is nothing better to protect coins that travel. As you can see from the list, I have coins in holders 4 different companies. I'm not blindly loyal to TPGs, and each coin can cut the mustard out of its holder. I recently had an experience showing coins to a novice that confirms my belief in keeping these protected. I'll let anyone handle these with confidence.
Don, I can tie 6 of these coins as ajaan pedigree that either came directly from you or through you at one point in time. Including my lower denoms, I probably still have at least 15 coppers from your former collection. Thanks for moving out of Brit copper Bud!
coinkat, I am partial to my Wm IIII, and even if I upgraded, I would hold the current coin. It was one of my early buys, purchased raw for $50. I just fancy the idea of having a set that is comprised of coins with no wear. I do have basic copper 1/2ds back to Chas II (no James II or Anne), but not in the state of preservation that these coins are.
And Thanks to those offering congrats.
Nice collection, btw, can't wait to see the pics too.

You really want it? It's was one of today's additions on my $1.00/5 for $4.00 swaplist (now a link in my sig line). I have a lot more stuff to add- as of this message, the "Sooper Dooper Dollar Sale" list is still less than halfway complete. I'll reserve it for you if you PM me.
