Dear Brownowl, Firstly, thankyou very much indeed for your comments on the site. I'm pleased the site is providing what it was always meant to provide. It's all about encouraging new collectors, not just selling coins! Your comments do wonders for the old ego too! I see you have been very busy in the Forum too and that really has done me a favour as it adds to the content of the site (without me having to think of more ideas!) and puts accross different subjects and views. Hopefully more people can reply to them and the word spreads etc. I will address your other comments in the other forum areas and hope very much that you become a regular 'face' in here! We can at least talk to each other in these early stages. Chris Perkins www.predecimal.com

Hello there, thanks for using the Forum. 1893 Crowns had either LVI or LVII on them. Which by the way is the Regnal year (how many years Victoria had reigned for when it was struck). It was the 1897 Crowns that had LXI on them but there isn't much difference in the current catalogue values whether it's 1893 or 97...Around GBP15.00 in Fine condition, GBP35.00 in VF condition and considerably more in higher grades. have a look around the site for grading information, I currently don't have any similar coins for sale.

Gary, If you register, you can upload a picture of the coin if you have one? Chris www.predecimal.com

Hello EVII, Well done you deserve a medal for being my first member!!! What do you collect? Where are you?

If you're looking through this forum you probably are aware of predecimal.com and have probably had a look around. As the 'owner' of this forum and predecimal.com I'd love to hear all your ideas and comments on the site and future development. Thanks, Chris Perkins

Let me know about any ideas you have for new forums!
