Five Pounds 1902 Matt Proof a high relief example giving a three dimensional effect, so much so that the coin rocks when placed on a flat surface. Apparently new dies were swiftly introduced to give a lower relief with consequent savings due to reduced striking pressure and slower die wear FDC very rare and extremely eye catching
Halfcrown 1831 Plain edge Proof with WW in script, with upright die axis alignment, unrecorded by ESC, Davies or Spink however we note that Coincraft lists the piece as W4HC-025 and also Spink lists an 1831 Crown with a similar die axis alignment, FDC or very near so with a deep blue and green tone. Weight 13.74 grammes. Cataloguers note: Coincraft states that these pieces were possibly struck at a later date, indeed, close inspection of the coin shows that the rim is of a wider type and more akin to the later currency pieces 1834-1837 and also states that some of these weigh 'c.13 grammes', We note there was no example of this type in the Colin Adams Collection
Sixpence 1820 George IVPatternESC 1653 as the adopted design for 1821 nFDC with a deep tone and much underlying colour, a few minor hairlines barely detract, excessively rare rated R6 by ESC (3 or 4 examples known)
