The best places to buy genuine accurately graded coins is always from decent dealers (online or at coin fairs) and dedicated coin auctions (of which there are several), such as DNW and London Coin Auctions. For your needs right now it may be best dipping your toe in to the waters of a few dealer web sites, such as that owned by this forums's owner (Chris Perkins - http://www.predecimal.com/), Colin Cooke, R.P Coins (Rob on here), http://www.pennycrowncoins.co.uk/ (Derek - Red Riley on here), and others. Depending on your storage / presentation needs it does sound like a 1951 set might fit the bill, should cost around £100 for a decent one, this is the set I am referring to: http://www.ebid.net/uk/for-sale/1951-gb-specimen-proof-coin-set-festival-of-britain-royal-mint-129816182.htm?from=googleshop_uk&adwords=Y&gclid=Cj0KEQjwwYK8BRC0ta6LhOPC0v0BEiQApv6jYb5Cd86nHOITGj6k1582NbsFbYqdl52INNs8Xd3QY7gaAsJd8P8HAQ The penny in that set is relatively scarce Edit: But I wouldn't buy that particular example

Thanks Jon I was worried I was not doing things right. I also bought this 1946 Half Crown for £6.50p among others too many to show here.

Only have one 1904 and mine is "to a gap" so can't really comment. Like you I am interested what other's have to say

Unfortunately maybe a couple of people paid it. Out of order and really annoying . Sure its nothing to do with the business model moving forward ,more lets get as much out of it while we can . Pete.

I have been looking for a 1967 penny with missing waves below Lighthouse for a while. I have found one, not as dramatic as Richards on his website but the first I have found.

I believe that the Freeman 2 Gold proof was sold to a Japanese collector. I believe the auction hammer was £6000, Auctioned by Spink, June 1987. I did hear that the coin was once in the Royal collection.

I guess you spent a big amount of energy towards stacking direction and now you're having a time-out period. Don't think too much about that, I had had lots of times when I just wanted to sell everything and forget about stacking at all, but we change as time flows and our attitude and desires change too. so that's ok
