[QUOTE="robp, post: 25360408, member: 96746"]Thanks. The Langport was a bargain in a Kunker sale 10 years ago, less than VF price for the mint and it extended the opening period for the mint by one issue and as such a no brainer. William II types 2 to 5 and Henry I are probably the most problematic finding fully struck up and legible examples due to their relative scarcity as types, compared to say Stephen which is much commoner as a reign despite frequently grotty strikes. Included in my collecting criteria, I'm going for one of each person in whose name a coin was struck, including episcopals and one of each mint, trying not to duplicate types to make it challenging. Some duplication is inevitable because some types account for the only examples known (or available) from more than one mint. As for your gaps, half the top row are relatively easy to find something interesting at affordable prices. A good challenge would be a fully struck up Tealby for Henry II and for something harder, an uncirculated 1837 half farthing for William IV which is not easy to find in any presentable grade.[/QUOTE]
