Over the last several weeks I've been working on some new PCGS Registry sets and working on the theme of Elizabeth 11 and George VI coins
(because they're more available and less expensive) in the various countries that are, or were at one time, part of the British Empire.
Our friend Dimitri has helped on some and I've bought some singles and proof sets on Ebay and elsewhere.
I'm showing here some examples from some of the proof sets; some because I think they're terrific and just wanted to share them
and some because I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions on submission-basically whether or not to try and remove some negative
environmental alterations that would affect the grade.
For example:
Here's a 1956 2 1/2 Shillings. The reverse is gorgeous in my opinion but the obverse toning is less than desirable.
I'm not asking on this one since it would be dumb, even for me, to mess with it. BUT-how do you think the graders
would treat the coin?
Obverse and reverse of a 1952 5 shillings. Note the gray streak in the reverse field....
Reverse of a 1956 shilling. Note the toning. A positive or a negative?
No questions on the next few; just wanted to share them...

No,no- the kids and the cat are all right honey.

I had one PR 65-the lowest grade any of them got-2 PR 67s with the rest at PR66 and PR 66 RD.
I will say though, toning does seem to bring a coin down a point or so, no matter how colorful or attractive.
Frankly I'll still take it--a beautifully colored PR 66 as compared with a non cameo brilliant proof-every time......
