For the past six-seven months, only 1943 is constantly readily available in BU Full Luster on his site. You have better chances if you carefully scout ebay for the rest Steve. The 1937 appears slabbed in proof, or at least it has ,twice in the past couple of months, one in (PCGS) PR64RB and one in (PCGS) PR66RB, and both times its price was less than the certification cost. Kind of depressing for us 1/4d collectors. Also, Greg sold a week ago, an amazingly cheap Geo V 1930 PCGS MS64BN for ~$15-$16. I had paid $40 for the same date, same grade a few months back. My advice: place alerts in your email. Clearly, an order from C.C. for just one coin worth £4 in BUFL is not worth it. But it's worth checking out his site for his Geo V and other Geo VI dates.

I have a dupe raw 1928 in BUFL if interested. I can't guarantee an RD, but it seems very likely. I bought it as BUFL from C.C but later I came across a slabbed 64RD. PM if interested. I can also give you info on some other offers that I received or that I'm aware of for a type set, (one per type) :George IV, Victoria bun head, Victoria veiled non blackened head etc.

I have been scouting around lately for these dates ... just hoping that someone here might have one or two stashed away to shorten my search.

I occasionally check Colin Cooke, but not much has turned up on that front as of late. With eBay good examples have been few and far between as of late with most of the PCGS mint state graded examples being over priced. Guess it is just a matter of time before they show up ... just not sure how long.

Haven't really decided how much I want to do on George V and earlier farthings ... need to check what I already have in that area before taking the plunge.

Yup ... Colin Cooke recently came into a decent amount of farthings. I was able to get most of what I wanted and drooled over the thought of a few that there is no way I could afford at their asking prices.
