Recommended Posts

Afternoon all,

I contemplating parting company with a 1927 Proof Set (red leatherette case) and a 1927 Crown (I think better than EF)... Pics will be put up over the weekend. If you want to come to Slough or Windsor, I can even arrange a viewing!

Would anyone like to make me an offer before I stick 'em on fleabay?!

Drop me a PM!

Sorry, I thought the Crown was part of the proof set? It's a 6-coin silver set.

I may be wrong, but did they not strike more crowns than sets?

Either way, its a 6-coin proof set, and a separate crown on its own which incidently, I'l upgrading to aUnc! There is also a VF/aEF 1928 crown up for grabs! Pics below...

The Crown was only in the sets for 1927 other than possibly a handful of VIP type strikes.

Drop me a PM if you have a price in mind and I'll see if I can negotiate it down to half of what we both want :D

Don't take this the wrong way, but your shots are awful. Except for the 'with flash' one. I'd suggest you use the flash in future, it seems to come out pretty well?

No offence taken at all... Thats what you get for a 5min bodge job on a Friday evening before going out for dinner! I'll get some proper shots in the (hopefully!) daylight when I get home this evening.

I didnt realise that the crown was only in the set... thats a whole lot of broken up sets around then!
