[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 4022625, member: 42034"]Thanks very much Cucmbor, Actually I think my 1st English coins were an Eliz I sixpence, 1594 VF, and an Eliz I shilling [1560-61] bought as a pair from Frank Robinson for $40 when I was a college student. The silver pound is very impressive when viewed in person and I'm really wanting to remove it from it's slab so as to better display it. The PCGS slab is such a nice piece of plastic tho I hate to break it but maybe I should? I frequently show coins to non-collectors and the size of this is sure to get attention. I wasn't looking for the 1/2 pound, just like many would prefer to get the Brazilian 20,000 reis of 1725-27 and not the smaller 10,000 reis, or a Barber half dollar and not a quarter. The Gold 8 escudos in 64 is a very nice piece. I've bid on thse in the past (1751 So) but have tied for but never won one. I used a dealer to represent me and dealer representation these days is attrocious IMO. Tho this is a common shipwreck date, it is the only chance to get a nice portrait of Ferdinand VI as he only struck non-portrait pillars in silver [I think]. Also a ms-64 is top of the line.[/QUOTE]
