Here are the images as promised.

Very nice.

I wouldn't stress too much about possible PVC in the case... its not a problem in its native hard form. But I would make sure those flips aren't PVC.

They are saflips :good:
Here is the 6d

Was in the last nobles sale, I inspected the lot but didn't bid on it, described as toned with a light scratch on the florin, estimate of $200, sold for $300+bp. The 1962 threepence always grades well and yours loiks pretty good.

I also looked up the lot #1444 and the 2/- must have been "Artfully" Dipped as there is NO obvious signs on the coin.
Looks like I got the set for what he paid for it.
These Will be going in with my next submission to PCGS and it will be interesting to see how they grade these

They would grade 63-65 at pcgs, they may get body bagged but with proofs unless the cleaning is heavy pcgs rarely body bag coins but it does affect the surfaces and will significantly lower the grading. I would strongly recommend not sending this set to pcgs.

I wasn't too far off, good results on the 1927 florin :wavemulticolor:
