A Crown….
Afternoon everyone….
I spoke about a trade that I did a while back with a friend the other day. He got a graded Peace dollar, in return I chose several world coins that I really wanted.
The other day, I showed off an 1888 Peruvian Un Sol coin. Well today I’m going to share a beautiful example of a 1935 British Jubilee Crown.
The coin is in fantastic condition, and will be sent out for grading.

Sweet. I need to dig through my commonwealth silver to see if I have a KGV coin. He was the emperor of India and he was replaced with a nazi. Good times back then.
That’s insane
That is an amazing coin! I agree it's definitely worthy of getting graded. I bet it didn't come cheap in that condition...
It’s in the pile to grade. I don’t overpay for coins, it wasn’t cheap but wasn’t high either if that makes sense.
!pimp
Also known as the "Rocking horse" Crown.
That is an excellent conditioned coin....
Grading means?
