There was also a special UK exhibition in NY the same year, and it is said, I don&#039;t know how truly, that the purple box ones were distributed in NY. They were available at the Festival of Britain. I was there but only eight years old and waist high to all the adults so I probably missed them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 37 crown is a good choice for design and having some silver in it. The 1935 is an aquired taste as far as the design goes. The 1920s wreath crowns will be far too expensive. The mainstay is the good old Victorian crown, available in average circulated condition at little over the silver value although anything VF or better is scarcer and really nice ones command the usual high premium for condition rarity.</p><p>George III crowns, well circulated are another relatively cheap coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
