pokal02 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I think it's OK to grade this as Fair - probably bang in the middle of that grade range. If you're OK with coins in this grade, you could get quite a few Charles II's for under £100 (1662,3,4,8,71,2,3,6,7,9,80,81) plus 1695, 1696, 1707, 1708. You'll probably have to save up a bit for a Geo I & II (they rarely turn up ibelow Fine anyway - I don't think they circulated much). Quote

Peter Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I think anything below VF is not really worth collecting. Just my humble opinion.Normally I would agree with you choolie but crowns in VF and above kind of overstep my budget! I have most of the crowns post 1818 except the Proofs, 1847 Young Head, a few of the old heads and the only Wreath I have is the 1928. Just thought it would be nice to try and get a few earlier examples staying in budget of cause which this one did. Wow, you have a Gothic crown? Now any of those DEFINITELY oversteps my budget!If I ever win the lottery, Peckris, I declare here I will buy you one!And I you! (Hastily goes out and buys a lottery ticket...)Not that I would wish for you to get too excited, but I won my first ever tenner tonight - and this is since the lottery began! I think those odds in themselves are statistically interesting, given that on average I've been a regularly participator since the very beginning, more or less! None-the-less, an uncirculated FDC gothic crown is your's should fortune favour me! The first lottery winner was an Irish navy who I was working with.He won 44k and pissed it up the wall.I have won a few 4 nrs....but Quote

How many sailors did they have to share that between? Quote
Red Riley Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 The entire navy?? How many sailors did they have to share that between? Just one I think. Remember this is the Irish navy...That coin? Fair. The legend is readable and the main points of the design still present. Quote
