Picked up the final coin tonight for the set, the S-2577 1590-92 Elizabeth I shilling.
The rest of the set is here, although I need to reimage many of them.

Edited to add that at the NYINC show I saw two nice E1 shillings. One was a gorgeous raw piece that looked very choice, but the dealer wanted $2200. The other was, I think, in the SB auction.

I considered bidding on the one at SB, but I thought it would go way to high based on the insert, rather than being priced just for the coin. As it turned out I think it was somewhat of a bargain. A GEF in British grading and it was under $3k, if I could have been online that day I would have probably run it up a bit from there.

I am working on an English penny collection for myself and my daughter, mostly because it is about the only affordable denomination that extends back to the beginning of English coinage. Well at least the 11-1200's for me that is. Even then it is hard to find nice pieces, so I appreciate the work that you have put into the collection. I really admire the Elizabeth I pieces because they are hard to find in all denominations without the portrait being obliterated in my experience.
I look forward to seeing more of your collection.
Cheers
Nice even look to that piece. You finished the set in style.

I took a look at your website - quite an impressive collection. Your Phillip and Mary shilling is very nice.
