I Am Looking for expert help on a coin I have , it is in deed a
1663 Charles 11 crown coin , in very good condition . also has a
beautiful golden tinge , after doing some research , I have only come across a dealer in england that has this rare 1663 crown coin with the
golden tinge . if any one can give me any idea , what is the difference , from the regular silver 1663 crown , and this rare one I have . I can not find any info about the golden tinge . im at a stand point . any help thankyou .

Note : I noticed that 2 crown coins came out the same year 1663 , one coin had an extra curl ( hair ) next to the letter C on the coin , mine ( Does not ) have thee extra curl . if you do some research . This coin is in very good condition & has the 4 flags / crests ? England Ireland Scotland & fra ( France ) .
This coin was recently given to me by my Mother , 7 has been kept in the family for a while . Im puzzled by this beautiful golden tinge . Any Coin appraisers in the Houston texas area ,

Here is an interesting thought for you. Is it Gold? The weight might help us decide.

The first two books that I looked at have a reference to "Proof" and "Gold Proof" against 1663. The nominal weight in Silver would be about 30 grams, but in Gold it would be about 60 grams.

There are other aspects of the 1663 Crown mentioned, so if you could provide illustrations (you can use a scanner if a suitable camera is not available), this would be useful.

Let's hope that you're the lucky one!

Thank you Bill , I don't have scale , But I would certainly take it to a local pawn shop , for the weight .
I noticed a guy ( collector in england ) selling for 3200 pounds , And im staring at the same coin .

I noticed the shilling and crown 1663 has the same design front face & back with flag/banners ? england / scots /
ireland / french ( 3 leaves ) I hope it is the ONE lol . Thank you

I'll have a look at the details added to your first post, but later when I've got a bit more time.

Here's hoping!

You would not need to weigh the coin. If it is gold, it would be very obviously heavier. It would weigh MORE than two silver dollars.
