This is a close up of my George IV crown I got from a large collection that was a gift. It is a lot worse condition than yours Paddy.

Try and get some more capsules for them like the one the Jubilee head Victoria is in. Those PVC ones break down over time and leave a sticky green residue on your coins.

Speaking of Crowns...

One of the 2500 proof with raised lettering on the edge inscription rather than embossed lettering. I love that design anyway and if I could, I'd get it in a heartbeat. But my regular one, in AU condition that I got for $31.50 will just have to do 🤣

Consider getting a specimen crown rather than the RE proof as it is much cheaper. The specimen is nice, has reflective fields (but no frosting), and comes in the same red box as the proof. My specimen (top) cost me £50 in 2020 and my RE proof (bottom) cost £500 15 years ago.

Beautiful! But I am happy with the one I have, if anything, I'd like to get a scruffier one to carry as a pocket coin 😇

I just noted it with interest while looking for something else considering the conversation in this thread.

It is a moot point whether the undecimo gothic crown is a pattern. Firstly 8000 were produced which is high for a pattern. In addition, it also gained legal tender status unlike non-adopted patterns. Hence, some did circulate as currency. 

If I have to take a position, I would call it a limited issue rather than a pattern. 

Wreath crowns are not generally considered patterns either.

 

I suppose if any shopkeeper was offered up a gothic crown they would be a bit daft to not take it for face value seeing as coins were bought and sold as antiques in victorian times .

Wreath crowns come into the same bracket

Again, some very lovely coins we have here.
