British Crown 1713 - nice big silver coin! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nice coin! I will be interested to see what the colour is when you have it in hand - it could be right - being copper you can get interesting...
Glad you like it! The 1847 Gothic Crown was a one off year - only 8000 or so made with some varieties. They made an alternative "young head" crown...

Now the trickier question - I will probably sell on the Australia Florin as it is outside my collecting area. To clean or not too clean? (I...
I have been out picking up "job lots" again, and here are some of the best from the latest group. (I paid around scrap value for the silver...
