    Nice set. but not sure that this alone will put him at the top. May be a couple of other coins in the series!!
    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.

    Very nice sets, but I am not sure you can consider modern NCLT sets to be the "King of British Coins", maybe a Gothic Crown would rate up there. Not knocking the collections at all by the way, just not sure they rate quite that lofty a title.

    I was referring only to the britannia sets, just to clarify - britannias alone wouldn't qualify anyone as "king of the brit coins". image

    All I was doing was pointing out that PCGS gave Tootawl's registry set the award for "Best British Set" for 2008. If you have any complaints, they should be directed to the people who made that choice. image

    Thanks Newsman! I appreciate that! No one was more shocked when I got the email from BJ Searls than I was. My exact reply to her email was "You're kidding."
    As Newsman stated, talk to David Hall, Ron Guth, and the other judges if anyone has problems with the judging. I do not consider myself "King of British Coins". I'm just a guy who collects coins that I like.

    You have a nice collection of modern NCLT, but by no means do you have the best collection of Australian or British coins.

    Remember TGP's and registry sets are mainly a US thing, most British and Australian coins have not been seen by TGP's.
