    From the book above what are the two grade prices please ? It does not give a grade or even a year for the values , to know the year its published would be very usefull I would guess VF and EF though its only a guess

    I love the idea of "Leather sauce" some sort of early boot polish I would think - great name.

    I have this one as well _ i am not sure really if these are actual circulating coins or advertising pieces , but it does not seem to matter they are lovely pieces of social history

    I visited his house in london -its quite near to one of the coin fairs so was handy to get to there is a lovely cafe in the tiny back garden as well Rather than people I would surgest books starting with David copperfield and a Christmas carol.

    It' s quite a good bet that most serious sovereign collectors are quite well heeled

    I am just gobsmacked that it could have had so many different dates on it

    Crowns from the sixties and seventies were seen as curios and often ended up in shop tills for a long time before being banked . I worked in a shop for about seven or so years from 2008 to 2015 and while not common i did have a few of the pre 1997 two pound coins and also five pound pieces pass through the tills - as i know they were oficially legal tender I accepted them .
  20. copper123
    They were a pain as in the size of the darn things I mean , like modern cartwheels
  21. copper123
    this proves crowns circulated doesn'nt it
  22. copper123
    Quite a few 1972 and 1977 crowns went into circulation
  23. copper123
    Hard to find in mint state - I presume because it was a lot of money to put aside in 1893 a crown is easy funny enough though its around £150
  24. copper123
    They tend to be sold first by a collector at they are so valueable . They were easy to trade in quickly for ready cash , its all churn , churn,churn
  25. copper123
    All maundy coins are legal tender and every date has a much lower mintage than the kew gardens 50p
