It is really impressive the progress you are making on this set.

I did not know you had so many different world crowns.

That must be a really good LCS you have.

---------------------------

I have some of the same coins you have, and watch for others to come
into my LCS.

My problem is getting them organized. Some of them I have in a album
Similar to yours. Some are in a dealers stock book ..
Some in Dansco type books ..
And some in my treasure box.

Seeing yours makes be think someday I will need to put one of each type
together ... if possible.

-------------------

Maybe you should consider doing a days of world coins thread.

Maybe 26 days
Day one .. countries starting with "A" .. day 2 with "B"

Or maybe there would be another idea .....

Just a suggestion

Thanks! Yeah the LCS has had some awesome stuff pop in and I happened to be there at the right time (once a week :P). Most of the ones not from the LCS is from buying/reselling auctions stuff. Probably my favorite is the older Panama Balboa. It is Gem BU and a great design. And GR58, the days suggestion is a good idea for my next album (volume 2) if I can ever complete the first! ;)

If you need more ideas, there are plenty in the post a crown thread.

The great thing about these projects is that you can set your own rules-and change them if you want.

^ Exactly Oriole. I have done that several times already too :) Now I am going to separate the bullion (eventually once I need the holes they reside in) and sell of some coins that would duplicate the country since I am going to have one of each country. Kind of sad since for instance I like the British Trade dollar but if I am going to have a "crown" British coin it has to be the actual crown. Oh well selling those will help me purchase a few or help me save towards a big one (Hawaii, Lichtenstein, etc.) Thanks for the comments!

Mister Kairu - If you want to have a look at my own crown collections - it may give you a few ideas. Particually on how to display them online so they are easy to reference.

Those are really cool Bacchus! I may have to figure out how to show them online sometime. And yeah for volume 2 eventually I will have to take a look again at the Post a Crown thread or expand my search on numista to include older coins since I am not sure I can get all those holes filled from different countries in those sizes (36-41mm). Volume 1 is all listed now I just need to wait and search. The first volume will cost approx. the same as a completed US Type Album 7070 without the gold page so it will take some time but I am in no hurry :)

The album you got made looks well - it must be very satisfying to commission something that way. Here in the UK I think albums are less common - most reasonable collections are kept in cabinets - I have a couple. I've included some pictures below. There are pro's and con's with both.

Woah that cabinet is pretty sweet! And looks like it is a little more discreet than Albums too. And you quite a number of crowns I will be looking to add to my collection too! Very nice and thanks for the pics!

Cabinets are a wonderful, classic touch, but I am terrified of them sitting loose. I can see myself taking out a drawer and dropping the whole thing.

Thanks - I like "playing" with my coins and I can't really do that as easily with albums so this is my storage method of choice. Oriloe, you'd be fine with them - I'd be more worried about a coin falling out of a "push in" type album - horses for courses :)

I do like that you have an Eisenhower dollar in there.


There's little rhyme or reason to the order :) - they all have tickets/roundels under them to identify them. There's even a Churchill crown in there too - which I should really take out as it's not silver.
