    Those are beautiful coins. I'm still looking for a Queen Mary coin to finish my Tudor set; then I can move on to the biggie: House of York/Lancaster.

    Stunners all.

    To pick a personal favorite, I'd have a hard time between the Edward VI sixpence, the Elizabeth I shilling, or the Queen Mary groat. I really like the obverse of that last.

    As for the slightly later "Philip & Mary" groat, I didn't realize there were some with Philip's name but only Mary's bust on the coin. I'm more used to seeing those types with the two facing busts, though embarrassingly, I now forget what denomination those coins were.

    That is a really nice group of pieces. I've been looking for an "Old fat Henry VIII" coin in decent shape for quite a while with little success. I have a very nice "young Henry" two pence in AU-53. Using U.S. coin surface grading standards, it's more like an AU-55 or even 58.

    I have found Mary to be the hardest Tutor monarch to locate. She is also one of my least favorite British monarchs. During her reign she had almost 300 people burned at the stake for religious reasons. Historians have called her a "psychological mess." Henry divorced her mother, Catherine of Aragon, so he could marry Ann Bolin. In the process he had Mary declared to be illegitimate which was big deal in those days. At least Henry didn't have Catherine of Aragon beheaded, which was the punishment he ordered for two of his wives.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
