A pretty random group, the only disappointment was the 1819 Shilling, i really did not see any wear before I sent it in. The 1911 and 13 pennies were from Colin Cooke and graded as I expected. The two German pieces are probably really uncirculated, but both had enough weakness I was sure they would both go AU55-58 so a little good news on the 1764. The farthing was just laying around, don't even remember when or how I got it, the proof halfpenny was my best deal, at the local show a month or two ago it was in a dealers foreign junk box in a 2x2 for $2 unattributed as a proof.
001 1819 G.BRITAIN 1S AU 58 - Yikes, I certainly did not see any wear - bought raw from ebay.uk
002 1919 G.BRITAIN 1/4P MS 63 RB - who knows why, although I didn't look at this much just threw it in
003 1937 G.BRITAIN 1/2P PF 65 RB - as expected - raw from a local dealer junk box
004 1911 G.BRITAIN PENNY MS 64 BN - as expected - from Colin Cooke
005 1913 G.BRITAIN PENNY MS 65 RB - as expected - from Colin Cook
006 1636 GERMANY REGENSBURG FR-2310 SILVER 2D AU 58 - as expected - raw from a local dealer
007 1764 GERMANY FRANKFURT KM-PN35 SILVER 1.5D MS 62 - better than expected, thought it was AU58 - from same dealer

Well, just Love coins, period.
I'm puzzled by the 1911 penny grade, how can one expect a 64BN and then a 65RB on the 1913? How were they graded raw?
Very nice overall. Are these NGC or PCGS?

Both pennies were described as Uncirculated, the 1913 with luster. He had pretty decent pics of both, and the 1911 had just a few more ticks on the obverse portrait so I expected it to go 64. The 1913 looked very nice, but I knew it did not have the pop it needed to make 66.
I have pics of some of these;
1911 Penny
1913 Penny
1636 Regensburg 2 Ducat (silver)- Election of Ferdinand III as King of the Romans, he was also King of Bohemia, King of Hungary and Croatia and Archduke of Austria.
1764 Frankfurt 1 1/2 Ducat (silver) - Election of Joseph II as King of the Romans, one of the leading proponents of "enlightened absolutism".

Congrats......at least nothing details or genuine.

I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
NGC should take that one out of the type set- I really doubt they appreciate the rarity- I suspect there are likely less then 10-12 of each die number that remain- and I suspect the real experts across the pond would suggest that 10-12 of each is wishful thinking on my part

I can't believe an hour after I sent the score correction request in I got this:
Jeff,
I looked into this and I think you make a valid point. I have removed that slot from the Penny Type Set.
Thanks,
Max
So kudos, now I can be 100% this year.

That is what I was referring to.
Congrats on the 100%, JMC. Nice folks ATS, they do respond to requests quite rapidly.
I will talk to them about getting rid of the 1860 copper halfpenny from their Vicky date set. All of those extant are suspected to be proof, so the pieces shouldn't be in a business strike set.
As for the 1860 copper farthing, there are only seven examples suspected to exist, including proofs. I'll probably be poor, planted or both before I can get one of those. Maybe that one should be taken out as well...
