<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 119037, member: 283&quot;]The 1951 crown was originally issued in a small cardboard box&nbsp; (either maroon in colour or green. I&#039;ve never found out what the significance of the two different colours was). It also came with a Festival of Britain postage stamp.....or so I am led to believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although there were a few proofs, it is very unlikely that yours is one of them. More likely it is one of the 2 million plus `prooflike&#039; coins that were issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was the first departure from the use of silver for a UK crown size coin. It is still fairly readily found over here in Britland for about £3 -£5 complete with box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
