Cornerstone Collection From Oct 2007 Moore Numismatic Torex Auction "An outstanding example toned with splashes of olive, silver and gold. Both the obverse and reverse exhibit mirror surfaces and the obverse has a strong cameo contrast. Believed to be one of only two in private hands, with a third in British Museum. This example from the J.B. Caldecott specimen set, sold June 11-13, 1912 by Sotheby & Co. London, as part of lot #392. The lot was purchased by Baldwin and Son for Virgil Brand and remained in the Brand family until 1958 when it was sold to Spink & Sons. Spink's broke up the set and placed four pieces individually. In April, 1977 Spink purchased back the Ten Cents piece and again offered it for sale. MOORE's purchased the coin in June of 1977 from Spink's at the Convention of International Numismatics (C.O.I.N.) and brought the coin to Canada for the first time. The coin has remained in the Gruyich Collection for the past 30 years." It was purchased by the Cornerstone Collection until it was again offered in 2019.

Commemorative issue Duke of Newcastle Eton College Pelham Prize Obverse Henry Pelham Duke of Newcastle Right. Script: Latin Lettering: HENRY PELHAM DUKE OF NEWCASTLE ETON 1833 Engraver: William Wyon Reverse Wreath surrounding a 5-line latin inscription. Script: Latin Lettering: PRIMA SEQUENTEM HONESTUM EST IN SECUNDIS CONSISTERE (This is a quote from the Roman philosopher Cicero. It means that if you are not able to achieve first place, it is still honorable to come in second. This quote is often used to encourage people to keep trying their best, even if they don't think they can win. It is also a reminder that there is honor in hard work and dedication, even if it doesn't result in victory)
