Something old and something new.
I think NGC wrongly identified this James I Shilling- and it’s clearly not S.2645, and therefore, they are 2 decades or so out.  
My assessment is that this is the correct reference: 

James I (1603- 1625) Shilling, Third Coinage 1619-25, 6th Large Bust, mm. Trefoil S.2668 and my opinion, VF Grade.  Nicely cabinet toned and full flan.
The new, 
2021 Elizabeth II Sixpence, Reverse, John Bergdahl design of the Royal Cypher surrounded by floral motif. S.E1

Firstly, i've shed a fair bit of Gold weight lately to make way for a very special purchase and I would like to extend thanks to all the forum members who purchased coins from me to make it possible.  You know who you are, and it was very much appreciated 😀 
And secondly, and once again, thank you very much for all the effort, time and patience! That @SilverMike, @Roy & @Elements provided, in terms of helping to guide me into making this fantastic acquisition 👍😃
So, what exactly is in the box? 🤷‍♂️  

 
It needs no introductions...
 



 
And maybe, just maybe that 5 Pound is Ultra Cameo?  The Obverse certainly meets the criteria! 😉

1787 George III Sixpence, Laurette & Draped Bust, Reverse: Without Semée of Hearts. S.3748.  Extremely Fine

Received this Charles I (1625-49) Halfgroat, mm: Book.  Aberystwyth Mint 1638-1642. 1g, Spink 2902.
Last photo’s of the little coin, next to its larger counterpart, an Aberystwyth Groat, both coins in a lovely state of preservation 👍 
An interesting article from ‘The Metal in Britain’s coins’:
‘The mint at Aberystwyth had its beginnings in July 1637 when Bushell had the idea of coining at the source rather than sending the mined silver for coining to London and petitioned that it would stimulate the Welsh mining industry with predictions of increased output if the adits to drain water from the mines reached their capacity, and which could lead to other mines in England being used for coining in a similar fashion. The Mint in London was against the idea, but King Charles asked for Bushell to visit and was persuaded by his charm to back him. The agreement to set up a mint in Aberystwyth Castle with the Crown taking a 10% share with overall supervision from the Warden of the Mint Sir William Parkhurst. Coins were struck at 0.925 fineness at £3/2/- a pound with Welsh plumes with Halfcrown, Shilling, Sixpence, Half-Groat and Penny. In February 1638 patterns were also approved to forward minting of Groats, Threepences and Halfpennies and all carry the open book mint mark.’

Charles I (1625-1649), Sixpence. Briot’s Second Milled issue which dates it between 1638- 1639, mm. anchor, 3.02g S 2860.  Peripheral weakness to the legends and contemporary? graffiti in obverse field, otherwise very fine.

Translation: Charles by the Grace of God King of Great Britain France and Ireland 
Engraver: Nicholas Briot 
Reverse Lettering:  CHRISTO · AVSPICE · REGNO . 
Translation: I reign under the auspices of Christ 
Engraver: Nicholas Briot
