Can you include the price in your post.   I see there is £170 in the photos but if you include the price in the text so potential buyers know for sure if that's correct or an old label.

Unsolicited idiot question:

Can a proof coin be MS51?

No idea.  I know next to nothing on grading.

[Roy]

Me neither. 

Maybe @Numistacker or @Marc know?

I have the same proof coin and it is graded as PF not MS. It is a bit strange that the grade is mentioned without being in a slab? And ms51 is a low grade for such a clean coin... I think it is a number referring to something else rather than grading.  Nothing is adding up in my opinion.  Maybe Mintage number 551?

The S and the 5 look the same to me so may be M551 or MSS1.

It's Marsh ref 551 @Roy

[Hugo]

Yeah I thought that was strange Baird bullion must of marked it wrong

[Hugo]

I think you might be right there maybe I should get it graded if that’s the case probably no point though
