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).

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

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.
