<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bifter, post: 1157774, member: 28948&quot;]I have four 1951 &#039;proof like&#039; crowns. However, if the coins are &#039;proof like&#039; how can you distinguish them from the actual proofs? I&#039;m curious more than hopeful as I believe my coins are the bog standard variety, though I&#039;ve added pics below.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also can anyone explain to me if there is any difference between the coins in green or burgundy boxes? I have two of each, I assume it was simply to offer a choice?</p><p><br /></p><p>Answers.com gives the following values:</p><p><br /></p><p>A British 1951 cupro-nickel Crown (Five Shillings)(George VI) - Festival&nbsp; of Britain (proof like), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition&nbsp; could fetch up to £15 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good&nbsp; condition, it might fetch up to £5 GBP. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;A British 1951&nbsp; cupro-nickel Crown (Five Shillings)(George VI) - Festival of Britain&nbsp; (Frosted &quot;VIP&quot; Proof), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could&nbsp; fetch up to £675 GBP. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;A British 1951 cupro-nickel Crown (Five&nbsp; Shillings)(George VI) - Festival of Britain (Matt Proof FDC),&nbsp; uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £4,000&nbsp; GBP. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;A British 1951 cupro-nickel Crown (Five Shillings)(George&nbsp; VI) - Festival of Britain (Plain edge - Proof FDC), uncirculated and in&nbsp; absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1,000 GBP.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]120051.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]120052.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]120053.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]120054.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
