Can anybody help with linkage as order number was 4779502.

Highlight probably is the MS64 1848/6 half crown.
Bit sad on the AU58 1848/6 shilling
Can't believe the 1871 penny was "Gen 95" for scratch - very, very minor for what is otherwise one of the finest I have ever seen.
Got Proof 64 & 65 on the proof 1863 and 1869 farthings, they were nice too.
St. Kitts & Nevis DC proof 1982 100 D in 69DC - mintage 15
Jamaica 1976 matte unc 69 100D. - PM me if you are interested in the story behind this coin.

Well actually the proof copper was the highlight for me.

Congrats on those farthings.

My favorite is the gold piece from Saint Kitts. Where on Earth did you find it?!?

BTW are you sure that's the order number? Because it looks like a submission number.

Yes, Loch, you are right. I really liked the St. Kitts piece when it showed up at a DNW auction about 2-3 years ago by recall. Went for 300 pounds as I remember but have seen very high auction values when I spent some time researching it....I also liked the story behind it. Guess you had to think twice before messing with the Royal Navy in those days!

The Jamaica coin is VERY scarce and have only seen one other in the last 15 years or so. Evidently the FM sent these over to Jamaica and these were distributed to the local branches of Bank of Jamaica - one per branch - to be made available at FACE VALUE! I think this was an effort to legitimize the numerous collector iterations with original mintage of possibly 100; most likely perished/melted. I have a couple of friends with connections at BoJ and nobody seems to know anything about these...
