[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 3358163, member: 69089"][USER=100584]@Ag76[/USER], I have a collection of close to 50 silver world coins I regard as my crown collection, all from the 19th and early 20th century. My parameters are a little broader than yours, however. Most of the coins are of conventional crown size — 38mm-ish, give or take — but if a coin is large enough to need an "I" size Air-Tite, then it gets categorized as a crown (all of my coins in this size range are raw). Consequently, a few of my 'crowns' are as small as 34 mm — closer to British half crown size. Purists might say those aren't really crowns, but it works for me as a matter of convenience. I just prefer larger coins in general. They have more intricate and detailed designs, and I can appreciate them without having to always hold them under a magnifying glass.
