This a superior piece and worthy of inclusion in the finest Florin collection
Guinea 1777 S.3728 with B of M.B. overstruck, possibly over a lower or smaller B, better than Fine, some light rub to the high points, nevertheless not displeasing for the grade, this coin was Garrett Metal Detector's 'Find of the month' in October 2020
Half Guinea 1691 S.3430 EF one old scratch obverse field and a moderate area of haymarking reverse, extremely rare in this high grade, and much rarer than S.3431 Elephant Below, proven by the fact we have offered 4 of the Elephant Below variety since 2005 and only one of this type and none of these previous five coins were above VF

Halfcrown 1925 ESC 772, Bull 3727 UNC and highly lustrous, the obverse enhanced by a hint of gold tone. Extremely rare in high grade, and in our opinion far more rare than the 1930 Halfcrown in this high grade. A very desirable coin in this grade and seldom offered this nice. In an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 78. We note that an LCGS 75 example offered in London Coins Auction A140 as far back as 2/3/2013 realised £600 hammer price
Halfpenny 1735 Peck 849 A/UNC toned, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 70, the only example and therefore finest thus far recorded by the LCGS Population Report, from over 44,000 coins submitted, Ex-Andrew Wayne collection 5/6/2006 lot 987, many of the early Copper Halfpennies deceptively scarce or rare in high grades, one of the earliest coins submitted to LCGS (UIN 33) and after a further 44,000 coins graded this has yet to be beaten
