I, also, remembered some of the other members who collected Crowns.</font></font></font><font size="3"></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">A Crown, to those collectors, was the largest silver business strike coin produced by any country.</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Their collections contained Barber and Morgan Dollars, English Crowns, Panama Balboas, Thalers, Australian Crowns, etc. Since this is a &quot;trivia&quot; post I&#039;m not going to write about every Crown in the world nor the denominations, but so you understand what I&#039;m talking about, here&#039;s a few worth mentioning:</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">(Also, if a country struck proofs, as-well-as circulation coins, the collector could opt to purchase the proof).</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">That brings us to the &quot;nut&quot; of this trivia. Also, in those Crown collections, were the 1904 and 1905 50 Centesimos of Panama, the 1905 through 1915 Barber Half Dollars, 1916 through 1920 Walking Liberty Half Dollars, plus Walking Liberty Halves dated 1929, 1933, and those dated 1936 through 1947. These were followed by Franklin Halves dated 1948 through (at that time) 1960.</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Those who collected Australian Crowns had a special place in their collection for the 1937 and 1938 George VI Crowns. But all other Crowns in their Aussie Collection were Florins dated 1910 through 1934 and 1939 through 1960.</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Their Canadian Collections had three denominations of silver Crowns:</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Dollars:</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">1935 through 1939, 1945 through 1960</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Half Dollars:</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">1910 through 1921 plus 1929, &#039;31. &#039;32, &#039;34 and a group dated 1940 through &#039;44</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Quarters:</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">1901 through 1909 plus &#039;27, &#039;28, &#039;30, and &#039;33.</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">I hope you enjoyed this &quot;trivia.&quot;</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Clinker</font></font></font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
