Hi,
You may get a better response in the ‘Non Precious Metals’ section!
Having said that, the bun-head Young Victoria is one of my favourite obverses
Leonard Charles Wyon’s portraits, were better than his Father’s IMO….
Photo shows the classical Young head portrait by William Wyon, next to his eldest son Leonard’s ‘Australia’ Sovereign. For comparison the ‘bunhead’ farthing is also shown, by L.C.
Good- luck with your date run.🙂

Freshly dropped off by Fedex. Another nice Maklouf.

Came in today
Im starting a mini date run from 1860 to 1870 with graded half pennies. If you have any around ms65 for sale, please let me know. Thanks 

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that although the silver and bronze predecimal coins pictured above form a fascinating collection, I don't think they amount to a lot of value above scrap silver.  But that's not really the point, it's a journey through time and just think of all the people who will have used those coins to buy various things over the decades and centuries.
Definitely post up what dates you have on the pennies and other bronze.  But use those two websites that I linked to earlier, that will give you an idea if you have anything significant.
Your toned 1887 silver coins in the cased set are very nice though and perhaps worth between £200 and £300 between them 🙂

Here’s my 1887 silver set, taken out of similar ‘Victoria Jubilee Specimen Set’ box, with the addition of an 1887 Sovereign.
Those were the days as a numismatic collector (not any more!) gradually filling up the box - that was the enjoyment, especially when complete. 🙂 @EvilLandlord
Photo is a size comparison - I’m sure you can identify them all, even the ‘Barmaids Ruin’?……

Jody Clark shared this in a post:

I can’t find any 1823 coin with this design; but it looks like it’s being reissued for 2xxx, so maybe 2024 or 2025?
What could it be? 

Fantastic! They look great. I'm still learning what's what. Looked up the Barmaid's Ruin. Very interesting!

As above, top left caught my eye!  Looks like it’s a made up set, not original box. 
Taken a screen shot with a bit of editing for others to view. As is, could be worth a few £££…
Got many of these sets, but not the gold. Well done!

Just luv those Gillicks, especially the ‘57 pack leader….
Thought for a moment L.C. was making a personal come-back!
I hope mine’s not a fake!
