[QUOTE="Stork, post: 18105394, member: 71642"]Just my nickname over on the NGC side of the house. I had a nice set of Albanians I consigned and Stacks suggested using a 'name' as it was a cohesive set.

Pretty silly actually and I wasn't expecting them to add the name to the extras. I've been under the weather and will be dismantling the Albanian set though I'll leave a couple coins up so the write-up stays. For the GB coins one of my very first big (and arguably could have been stupid) buys was the Victoria 2 pound--bought raw from a dude overseas but it turned out very well. I toyed with a 2 pound gold set, but never completed it. And the matte proofs have always appealed to me and I picked up that crown along the way. It was a tough choice to sell but now I'm retired and I'd like some funds to keep going on my Japanese set. The Albanian set was about all it could be and so I turned it loose.
