<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1269187, member: 26302&quot;]Like Collector1966, my impression was that a crown was the largest circulating silver coin of a country, with weights usually between one half and one ounce. Of course with the advent of non-PM coinage the name still stuck. For US coins, I definitely would consider a Morgan or Peace dollar a crown, as well as an Ike. The Ike would simply be a base metal crown. </p><p><br /></p><p>With the advent of new smaller one dollar, one pound, one Euro, etc coins I think the term crown is not really use anymore for current coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe there is a more precise definition out there, but that is what I have used generally. I have bought &quot;world silver crown&quot; lots, and they basically fit the description of what I posted. Maybe my definition is a little loose, but it is what many dealers use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
