1889 Great Britain Double Florin Silver Victoria Mildenhall Collection 6-pc Set NGC MS63–MS66

These British Coins Are From The Mildenhall Collection

The Mildenhall Collection was curated over the course of nearly 70 years by a collector from Suffolk, England. The as yet-unnamed collector started amassing his collection when he was a boy in the 1950s and it evolved over the years into a jaw-dropping cache of coins that consisted of all the British denominations that were struck for circulation from the later 19th Century onwards. After a lifetime of painstaking work, the collection was made available for sale in late 2021 through the Classical Numismatic Group (CNG) in an auction of coins that ranged from a Cromwell Crown from 1658 to the last coins of Elizabeth II struck prior to decimalization of the currency in 1970.
