Red Penny and Half-Crown from Stanley Gibbons and Baldwin

 

Stanley Gibbons and Baldwin Coins have been close to my heart since 1975. Social media helped me to forge a deeper connection with them. But an online connect doesn't even begin to compare with the joy of holding a coin and stamp personally picked out from their London store.

Featured here is a red brown 1856, 1d, PI.31. Very fine used example lettered EJ tied to a small piece by a black, boxed ''STANDPORT STREET'' Scots local cancellation (Type XVIII). Alcock scarcity rating A and a Coin (1816, United Kingdom, half-crown), which recently made their journey from the United Kingdom to India.
