    Bought this at the weekend from birmingham (some idiot had to go when the storm was on didn't they), I just love the tone on it and its a variety I don't have Sparrows Balloon farthing - if you put it into google it gives you a real interesting read

    I visited his house in london -its quite near to one of the coin fairs so was handy to get to there is a lovely cafe in the tiny back garden as well Rather than people I would surgest books starting with David copperfield and a Christmas carol.

    There are yet again 2019 peter rabbits as well thats four years on the trot- I have it on good information that "peter breeding" and "peter having a dump" are in the pipeline

    At least if you see peter rabbit on a coin its a good bet its from the UK

    It' s quite a good bet that most serious sovereign collectors are quite well heeled

    I presume this coin comes with another that says "Except islamic oil rich dictatorships that murder their own subjects"

    I am just gobsmacked that it could have had so many different dates on it

    Crowns from the sixties and seventies were seen as curios and often ended up in shop tills for a long time before being banked . I worked in a shop for about seven or so years from 2008 to 2015 and while not common i did have a few of the pre 1997 two pound coins and also five pound pieces pass through the tills - as i know they were oficially legal tender I accepted them .

    They were a pain as in the size of the darn things I mean , like modern cartwheels

    this proves crowns circulated doesn'nt it
  18. copper123
    Quite a few 1972 and 1977 crowns went into circulation

    Hard to find in mint state - I presume because it was a lot of money to put aside in 1893 a crown is easy funny enough though its around £150
  20. copper123
    They tend to be sold first by a collector at they are so valueable . They were easy to trade in quickly for ready cash , its all churn , churn,churn

    All maundy coins are legal tender and every date has a much lower mintage than the kew gardens 50p
  22. copper123
    Maybe misleading the public would be a more true statement .

    A 1934 crown has appeared very worn as well.................I personally think these circulated , others think differently , it could have been a pocket piece as well I surpose
  24. copper123
    I got a 2-4-1 voucher
  25. copper123
    I do believe that the 1954 penny is the rarest coin to have ever circulated ,it along with the 1952 halfcrown both were found in circulation both are one of a kind and the kew gardens coin while pretty scarce I must admit 210, 000 is quite a lot , its just the media love making things up
