Sylvester Posted April 15, 2004 Author Posted April 15, 2004 C.C.C.CCrap Chirchill crown club 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? Quote

william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 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... Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Why wouldn't Master JMD allow bad language? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Twas one of his highness' new rules set down a few weeks ago. Vigilantism I believed I called it! Quote
william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Why wouldn't Master JMD allow bad language? Here are his 'Forum Rules' Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Ahh I did say vigilantism, and presumptuous vigilantism at that! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 What would happen if we said a swearword in a different context? Quote
CartwheelTwopence Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I really like the George IV Half crowns with the floral design (1820 & 1821), but my favorite is the very beautiful Gothic crowns. Quote
Andriulis Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 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. Quote

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! Quote

CartwheelTwopence Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 What incredible condition! It's so amazing that it's my new computer screensaver! Thanks! Quote
Paulus Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks CT, but not even aUNC according to CGS (they have high standards!) Quote
Paulus Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 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! Quote
Peckris Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 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! Quote

CartwheelTwopence Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Very good decision, Paulus; I'm not sure if one exists! You would be looking for a very long time... Quote
shagreen Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 I do like that design its less cluttered than the crown with its full garter chain , here is one with a bit of colour Quote
declanwmagee Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Here's my best one of those. A coin I look at just for fun. Quote
Paulus Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 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? Quote
CartwheelTwopence Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 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!
