TomGoodheart Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 For anyone that hasn't seen it here is the link to Jeff Cope's 'Petition Crown' website.Though it's a bit small, here's a pic of the edge engraving. When you consider it's on a coin the size of a £5 coin it's pretty impressive I think! I've reversed the colours for clarity - you can see the original on the site. Quote

He's been the bane of my life on ebay too on more than the odd occasion. Quote
Hussulo Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Great website very informative. A truly spectacular coin. Quote

TomGoodheart Posted January 3, 2007 Author Posted January 3, 2007 Hi Jeff.Well, on the basis of the few examples I've seen, I for one would be quite happy to see more of your collection available for wider inspection.

scottishmoney Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I received an auction catalog from Alan Davisson yesterday, he has a Petition crown in the auction closing in February, you can see the auctions at Britishcoins.com.There is also a nice Scottish £20 coin from the reign of James VI, but a bit rich for my blood.
