A friend just got these grades in from ATS and asked me to share them with anyone interested, I only wish they were mine.
1860 Penny, seems pretty usual, excpet it's a raised shield line proof that's very nicely toned:
Do you like Wren Farthings? How about a Reverse Die Trial Piece, in Silver, ex Norweb:
Well if you don't like those how about a plain old 1937 Crown, in Matte Proof, and ex Norweb:
For those that don't collect British these are all very tough pieces, any one of them could be the centerpiece of a nice collection. Heck, if I had those three I might get rid of all my others.

The 1937 Crown looks like one of those "Patina Collection" modern restrikes (but of course, its not).
My favorite would be the crown, but only just barely as the best of the bunhead design is shown in that proof, and the wren is lovely in its simplicity
whilst retaining elegance.
To imagine that the Norwebs had hundreds of such coins!
Well, just Love coins, period.
