triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9410 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 8:23 pm Snooba, I don't think I could afford to buy too many. Just one more will be enough for me (1938). Steve Report this Post to the Staff

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9410 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 9:54 pm Bigfella, if you come across any cheap ones, let me know. I don't have $900 to buy the one on your site. LOL. Steve Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/17/2007 08:49 am G'day Triggersmob, and congratulations: you're halfway to a full set. Before you give up on crowns, may I suggest that you consider a 19th Century St George crown: big brother of the gold sovereign, for half the price, and less than a 1938. A stirling silver coin of that size has an appeal unmatched by anything else, other than gold, of course. Even as a collector who focusses on Australian coins, the early crowns were legal tender in Oz. By the way, your crown is a very pleasing example. My Mum (b.1921) told me that they circulated, but were very unpopular from the outset. But I'm still surprised that the majority of those on the market are in the better grades, with very few showing signs of significant circulation. Peter in Darwin Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9410 Posts	Posted 07/17/2007 10:10 am Peter, Thanks for the info. Now I'm going to have to get that crown as well. Steve Report this Post to the Staff
Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 07/17/2007 8:46 pm Steve, Here is a link to a 1938 Crown that I have been watching for several days. I keep hoping that I'll magically find $250.00 so that I can buy-it-now. But since that's not going to happen, I'll share the link with you! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...27&rd=1&rd=1 Report this Post to the Staff
