Actually got it for the price of a standard crown

Hi Nick, many thanks for the reply. I thought that might be the case as normally spinks book is quite good for that sort of thing, but always worth a second opinion. Was a bit of a find so am chuffed

Hi. I've recently acquired a 1935 crown with raised edge lettering. It is most definitely a much better strike than a standard crown. I have spinks 2014 coins of England and it lists only the proof with raised edge lettering. Did the specimen strike have raised or incuse edge lettering? The coin is sadly fairly tarnished but has a slightly frosted cameo, and having not come across either specimen or proof before I am unsure or which of the two it is likely to be, if anyone can help? Many thanks Richard
