SWANNY Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 The only thing I can thank CGS for is the nice pictures... 1 Quote
Sleepy Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Sorry Swanny I'm even more jealous, didn't think the goth crown existed outside of museums and myth. As a Crown fan it has gone to number 1. Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Always enjoy seeing this coin, in a thread ranting about CGS or not the toning is just amazing. 1 Quote

Nonmortuus Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 The toning looks much better in hand Quote
Paulus Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Steely shades of blue-grey, already wishing I had held on to my 1919 that was like that Quote
Nonmortuus Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Well, my pictures are awful at the moment. This is the CGS picture which really shows how the toning looks in hand. 1 Quote

IanB Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 I think I have said this before about this coin "It is a beauty" and for me sums up what coin collecting is about. Wish I had it. 1 Quote
PWA 1967 Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Thought it was as good to post here. Mark rasmussen has a large collection of shillings / florins in his new list. Might be of interest to people reading this thread. Pete. 1 Quote

mrbadexample Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Oh. Well why didn't you say that in the first place? Quote
Paulus Posted September 8, 2016 Author Posted September 8, 2016 I received the catalogue today also, pouring over it now - plenty of missing types for me to consider! Quote
