Okay, bit dramatic there, but just try to get this date run in uncirculated! Richard Stuart did not, Arielle did not. Anyway, here these unloved coins are graded 63,62,64 and 65:
I love British Honduras coins but they're hard to find in any condition, let alone uncirculated, so congratulations. Nice coins.
These are very difficult to find in uncirculated condition, so collectors are up against it in trying to get these. The one cent coins from 1942-1944 are fairly tough as well.
What I don't understand is the title "Murderer's Row" and who is Richard and Arielle? How are they related to your coins?
These (Richard Stuart and Arielle) were famous collections formed and then sold through major auction houses in the last 20 years. Richard Stuart had one of the finest collections of Central American material, including Belize/British Honduras. Arielle if spelling and memory serve me correctly was sold on by ?Baldwin's or perhaps DNW in at least two major sales. Their collections were near definitive and to find coins they did not include in date runs such as the above is very unusual. So the coins in condition are quite rare for a number of reasons.... In short, they are "stoppers" for those few collectors that may try to complete a set.
They did not have ALL of them, but like the BH one cent pieces did not have all of these. These big collections evidently were not put together the way the rest of us mortals do, one coin at a time, but rather in big/huge swathes. We can only guess as provenances are not listed often so guess at Baldwin's basement prior to the move, etc. It is probably near impossible to get huge accumulations nowadays and the prices would be prohibitive & series such as alluded to might be as good as can be done.
