Perhaps this is a good time to point out that the Master has just broken one of his own rules that he laid down for everyone. Though shalt not swear?

[Chris Perkins 223]

You were waiting for that weren't you. I bet you had a little post it not stuck on the side of the monitor that said 'Pull up Master JMD on language because he made a rule against it'!

You are, like your Cat name sake..Dissssspspicable, which is great!

I just realised...If we did start a thread on Churchill crowns, Chris (and Master JMD ) wouldn't allow it, because of all the bad language...

[Half Penny Jon 0]

Why wouldn't Master JMD allow bad language?

[Emperor Oli 0]

Twas one of his highness' new rules set down a few weeks ago. Vigilantism I believed I called it!

Here are his 'Forum Rules'

[Emperor Oli 0]

Ahh I did say vigilantism, and presumptuous vigilantism at that!

What would happen if we said a swearword in a different context?

I really like the George IV Half crowns with the floral design (1820 & 1821), but my favorite is the very beautiful Gothic crowns.

I prefer sixpences from the same series. Despite beeing small comparing with halfcrowns. they are still very impressive.

I'll have to get one of those. Never thought of it due to the size... But I guess such a design would look fantastic on anything! Good suggestion!

I agree it's an attractive reverse design.

Here's my wee fella:

What incredible condition! It's so amazing that it's my new computer screensaver! Thanks!

[Paulus 1,942]

Thanks CT, but not even aUNC according to CGS (they have high standards!)

[Paulus 1,942]

I also love this rev design, and find that in high-ish grade like this they can have great eye appeal, but in low-mid grades they look horrible!

High-ISH? ISH???? You can't get better than that!

I have ceased searching for an upgrade, it's a keeper!

[CartwheelTwopence 2]

Very good decision, Paulus; I'm not sure if one exists! You would be looking for a very long time...

[shagreen 24]

I do like that design its less cluttered than the crown with its full garter chain , here is one with a bit of colour

[declanwmagee 122]

Here's my best one of those. A coin I look at just for fun.

[Paulus 1,942]

Love those too Shagreen and Declan!

I, like many many others, also love the out-of-reach-for-many Gothic Crowns, but isn't the design is the same on the much-more-obtainable Gothic Florins?

[CartwheelTwopence 2]

I would say so, Paulus - however, for me, the gothic florin design is not quite as detailed in terms of having the pattern behind the flowers, and because the writing takes up more space on the reverse, I would say that for me it looks far more like a currency piece. Plus, I find that they are harder to find in the better grades for some reason. And they're smaller.

Still, I can't afford either in good grades so my response is from looking at pictures and owning a few worn examples of Gothic florins! I guess it's just down to your opinion!
