An accomplished statesman who led Britain through the tumultuous World War II as an army officer, he went on to pick up the pieces of the United Kingdom after the war as the Prime Minister. Following his political career, he went on to become an eloquent writer and speaker. The first Crown coin to feature anyone outside of the Royal family Also, the first coin to not show a denomination The coin is in stunning condition and these photos do not properly show the condition * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by ianod62 01/25/2023 11:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 2:03 pm I've had several of these over the years, now down to my one best example--perhaps MS65. Personally, I like the coin, many others have issues with the design. They can be had on ebay for anywhere between $1-$10, in AU58 to mid-MS grades. Slabbed examples in the MS range go for a little more. Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 2:27 pm You can get them UNC in original plastic casing for $3-6 in Australia. Nearly 20 million minted so plenty still floating around in good grades, thus prices are pretty low. I wasn't aware WC was the first non-Royal on a crown.

It was the first Elizabeth II British crown not to show a denomination (the 1953 and 1960 issues did) but traditionally most British crowns didn't show a denomination - the first ones to do so were the George V Wreath crowns of 1927.

Well, he was the first commoner on coins since Cromwell's coins during the English Civil War. Quote: Also, the first coin to not show a denomination Most British coins prior to 1800 don't show a denomination. Most crowns don't, as noted by NumisRob above, and none of the gold coins (sovereigns and guineas) do. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
