<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1913377, member: 19463&quot;]For those not requiring silver in their silver coins, the cheapest entrant in the St. George race is the 1951 Festival of Britain special 5 shilling crown.&nbsp; Most seem to be kept in their original boxes which are in poor shape.&nbsp; Mine was kept tails up making that side less abraded than the portrait but it is the side of interest anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know how these were sold?&nbsp; What was the issue price?&nbsp; I&#039;m told there is no difference between the coins in the red and green boxes or the slide or top off cases.&nbsp; Correct?&nbsp; I have never seen a circulated one so I assume they were sold over face.&nbsp; Details appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]328086[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
