Spink USA will auction the second part of the Gerald W. Jackson Collection of British Pennies during its Collector's Series Sale on June 17, 2014 in New York. The finale of the Jackson Collection, some 82 lots, made up primarily of Victorian Pennies, is marked by many great prizes, selected both for superior grade and rarity.

Featured in the collection is one of the finest known examples of the very rare 1882 Penny (lot 1053), graded NGC MS 64 RB and estimated at $12,000-16,000. Other Victorian rarities include an 1862/1662 Penny, graded NGC MS 64 RB (lot 1019), estimated at $6,000-8,000; a Choice 1861 Heavy Flan Penny, Freeman 23 (lot 1016) and an 1869 Penny, graded NGC MS 64 RB (lot 1028) - both estimated at $4,000-5,000 each.

The star of the post-Victorian issues is an extraordinarily rare 1908 Matte Proof Penny of Edward VII (lot 1071), only 3 pieces are recorded.
