It's a short set, but George IV Halfpennies, finally got an 1825 which has been a heck of a date to find in decent unc, this one in 64 RB is the best graded in BN or RB.

Congrats!

I finished a set recently too, and now I'm motivated to get the images uploaded.

Very nice - I'm afraid some of the holes in my sets will be "lifetime" propositions.

Congratulations, completing a set is something I have never done.

I too struggled to find a decent 1825 currency example.

What constitutes the set? Are shield types or proofs included? I assume that varieties such as 6/5 (which is only noted in Bramah) or other essentially unrecorded varieties are not included. If proofs are included, where did you get the 1825 copper and can I have an image please? Rare coin, as I only know of one other collector with an example apart from my own.

Hi Rob, the "set" is really only three coins, 1825,1826 and 1827. I do have the 1826 proof also but don't consider it part of the currency set.

Nothing wrong with a small set. The one I finished last month was a 5-pc set.
It's an attainable goal that offers a decent amount of satisfaction
