Interests
Crown Size Silver Coins primarily, always by type, never by date<br />Specifically:<br />Austrian & German Crowns<br />British Crowns from Edward VII to 1965<br />Chinese 20th Century Dollars<br />Icelandic 1930 Althing Series (all three coins)<br />Russian Commemoratives<br />Swiss Shooting Talers<br />USA Commemoratives by type (silver & gold)<br />USA Dollars by type<br />USA Gold by type<br /><br />It should be noted that many large copper coins are of interest as well such as the British 1793 Two Penny Cartwheel and the Russian 5 & 10 Kopeks. Perhaps eventually I will expand to include foreign gold, maybe even some patterns.<br /><br />It should also be noted that some smaller silver coins and some gold may be included to complete coin sets. I would also point out that commemoratives typically have more appeal than circulation strikes and therefore may be included in smaller sizes than what otherwise might be accepted as crowns.<br /><br />My collections may be found under "Roark" at the PCGS & NGC registries.
Concerning the Iceland 1930 Althing series, does anyone know the significance of the mythological & historical figures on the coins? Who are the figures on the coins? Does anyone know a translation for the runes on the 2 Kronur coin?
