One of my recent purchases British Museum 130 photographic slides of coins and medals.
I contacted Mr Attwood of the British Museums coins and medal department to enquire about them and he said:
"Dear Mr..
Thank you for your enquiry. It is almost certain that the slides were taken by Museum photographers for official purchases. The range of subjects visible on the website suggests they were for various publications and/or exhibitions."

Hus, those are fully deserving of the CU You Suck™ Award.
I thought they were a good win at £62 plus £12 postage on ebay.
I had purchased them to sell them on a my new coin dealer website I'm setting up but I'm having second thoughts as if I sell them I most likely will never be able to acquire anything like them again. On the down side my wife doesn't like it when I buy bulky things to keep in our house and they're to big to store at the bank.
Whatever I decide in the long term, I plan on taking pictures of them soon and posting them on my site CoinsGB for anyone that's interested to be able to look through.
