I wonder if the news going on in the Turks and Caicos Islands will make their coinage appreciate in price any? Anyone collect any of these? http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/08/15/turk.caicos.uk/index.html
LOL Fret. With the Brits, you always have to dig, to find their true motive in anything. They probably struck oil there. "We are not amused" Traci
Traci, I have one of those crowns you posted in my album, take a look if you care to. Mine is not as nice as yours, and mine has a nick on the St George side, part of the price I pay for dealing on ebay. But that's alright I still really like the crown.
There is just something about Vicky's Jubilee Crowns that are soooo Brit. Here is the back of that Crown. Its not an AU but its the best Vicky Crown I own. Love ole St. George and the Dragon. I bought another Crown from Malta and it has "Bluebeard" engraved on the Overse over Vicky's head. Guess some Jolly Jack Tar broke another heart. :kewl: Traci P.S. Fret I checked out your Gallery, seems you collect the world like me.
Yes, I have a bunch of different coins from all over except I'm a bit leery to buy any sen, yen or won. Besides I can't read the dates or eras that they're from. Hopefully I can take more pics and upload them myself once I get the pic stuff all figured out. :hail:
Oh you are missing out. Japanese Sen & Yen are great. I learned how to read Kenji numbers only recently. I am glad I did. Here are 2 19th century Sen (dragons) and one from 1924. The designs are exquisite in my opine. :hammer: Traci
I just purchased my first 4 Turks and Caicos coins a month ago. I love them. If you search for Turks and Caicos, you will probably find my thread. Since the purchase of those two coins, i aquired a 2 coin set on ebay. I purchased a very nice 50 crown gold piece that had the same design as does your 20 crown silver piece. It was a must have for me. Not only do I love the king and queen bust series from T&C, but it is also the place my wife and I went on our honeymoon. So there is some sentimental value there. I don't have pics yet of the gold coin but hope to have it up soon. Someone was trying to sell a near complete king and queen gold and silver bust set on ebay. Max bid was just over $300 and the reserve had not been met. The set had 2 20 crowns, 2 50 crown silver and 2 100 crown gold. It was a very nice set with limited mintage.
Yeah, I have a small won and a small sen. Yours are real beauties, maybe someday. Ebay is very competitive with the bidding wars that go on with those dragon coins. I can see why for sure. jaceravone, I really like those gold spouses you have, those are really something and the prices keep climbing up and up on those. I'm new to the Turks & Caicos but very interested. :hammer:
Awwwww Jace you are such a romantic. I know the 50 Crown piece will be swell. Thanks for sharing Traci
Yep Fret I have gotten many fake Chinese Dragon coins. But I have never been burned with a Japanese Dragon (Yet !!!). Keep the faith. Traci
