Great Britain. Sixpence, 1854. S.3908; ESC-1700 (Rarity-2); KM-733.1. Victoria. Young head. Clashed dies. Two diebreaks near the obverse rim, and a faint "arc" of a diebreak through the queen's hair. Lovely silvery gold or russet toning. Very sharp strike. Some ancient scuffs appear vertically on the reverse, toned over completely, and probably dating to the time of issue; sometimes such marks occurred when the just-struck coins slid down the metal chutes into bins, at the mint. This is surely among the finest extant copies of the very rare 1854 sixpence. 2005 Spink catalogue value is £1,000 in "Unc." NGC graded MS-63.

Great Britain. Silver Britannia Groat, 1838. Victoria Young Head. S-3913. First year of this type for this monarch. Not a lot of people collect these worldwide, but their popularity seems to be steadily growing as both an odd denomination and a coin which is, in truth, generally quite rare in high grade. Few survived their intended purpose, which was use in such Royal Navy seaports as Malta, Gibraltar, and elsewhere in the Mediterranean; not to mention these coins' popularity at issue up in Scotland. The cataloguer knows of several collectors intent on owning complete date sets in high grade, and this goal is obtainable at low cost, although the effort to locate each coin means it takes time. A lovely original Gem coin, sharply struck and having particularly pretty golden gray iridescence. A tiny scratch connects to a diebreak on the queen's neck. NGC graded MS-66.
