I haven't got the literature for this one, but the 10 O'clock legend with ligated NR strikes me as being something less common?

What an unusual looking reverse N?

I don't recall ever seeing such a busy X in REX before?

I'm completely unfamiliar with this series, it might be normal?

I make it a 5b2, DAVI ON LVNDE.

Interesting that the N diagonal has its own diagonal. I see the odd example on the last page of North, but not a huge number.

X is normal

S1368?

Common!

S1368?

Almost. S1368A. The crown has pellet ends, not fleurs

Cheers, Rob! That must be a new addition to Spink, it's not in 2013!

Don't s'pose they happen to say £1500 in fine for that new addition per chance?

1500p is closer. 25 fine, 65 VF

[Coinery 1,157]

Yes, rather a quirky N, or should I say xI?

Very odd!

Thanks for that!

No change since 2013 then (for 1368 at least)!

[Rob 3,152]

1368 is 135, 450

Wow, what a revamp! 1368 in my 2013 copy is 25 65!

That's because they split them out. The majority are 5b2 where the price hasn't moved. 5b1 is the rare one, but presumably this kept the 1368 designation as 5b1 comes before 5b2. Another case of it helps to know what you are looking for. anyone working with an old book and minimal knowledge would refrain from spending £100 on a 5b1 because the book only says Vb

Indeed, another lesson learned! That has to be pretty unusual in Spink I would think?

Interesting series the Plantagenets, I'm quite enjoying them!

Cheap and cheerful mostly!

You're going to groan at this! I've now bought the five 1935 cigarette cards for the Plantagenet kings, and plan to make leading pages in an album for each of the reigns, using these cards in the top lefthand corners!

I watched a chap in the Cirencester craft market painting illuminate pages with great skill, so I'm going to get him to make me an illuminate page for each reign, with the picture card incorporated!

You can buy full page slips for these leather coin albums, so I will lead each monarch with a great piece of A4ish art, and an 80 year-old print.

A little twee, but I can't wait!
