Advice On Churchill Crown

Quite the transformation.

Wow, those are cool! I have never seen one! Neat!

It was meant to read pee off a nettle

The Churchill Crown is a good coin to have as a pocket piece, because it is worth far more in heavily circulated condition than in uncirculated. An example in VG or F might be worth about £25.

It is indeed worth more (at least according to Coincraft's Standard Catalogue of English and UK Coins) but I'm afraid I don't know anyone who's buying wholesale. It would need to be really low grade and naturally worn, not damaged.

They're genuinely more attractive in lower grades.
Here's a VF one (http://www.coins-auctioned.com/auct...n-t560-1893)

where is the denomination on this coin?

As I said in the other thread where this question was asked, British crowns generally don't have the denomination marked on them. Only crowns issued in a relatively narrow window, from the 1920s through to the 1950s, have a denomination on them.

The tradition of not placing a mark of value on a coin is hundreds of years old. This theoretically allowed the government to unilaterally revalue the coinage, if it felt the need to do so. Britain never revalued its silver coins, but did revalue its gold coinage, several times. Circulating gold coinage generally didn't bear a mark of value, nor even of weight and purity, and British gold sovereigns still do not bear a denomination mark. The situation in the colonies was different; for example, the colonial government in New South Wales in 1800 formally revalued all circulating coinage, gold silver and copper, increasing the face value across the board in an effort to prevent the coinage from being exported in trade. None of the British coins in circulation at the time carried a denomination on them.
