gxseries Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thank god you haven't started on the 19th century Sisu! I know there are too many difficult coins to collect and this is one as well: The only silver crown issued by Korea for circulation. Actually there is another crown after this, which is a 1 hwan coin, but most of them were melted down and it is said that only 77 of such survived.

I have picked one up here and there that belongs to that century. Such rare coins as the ones you mention however, would not be on my target list. If you notice my current want list, at the bottom I have left out the more rare pieces altogether. Maybe if I hit the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I won this one on eBay in the first week of December. By New Year I still had not received it. I won another auction from the same seller and received that in a couple of weeks. So I had given this one up as lost, but it finally came today. BIG and silver!

Sir Sisu Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Another one arrived today: Great Britain George VI 1937 crown. Now I have the 2 easy (=inexpensive) ones taken care of, Edward VII and George V-wreath are still left and may be the last ones that I get.

Sir Sisu Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 After having purchased and received some of the coins on my original list, I have decided to define the coins more narrowly, which means that a fair number of the coins on my list will be removed -some of which I have already purchased. The main change is defining the coin size more narrowly. I originally went with silver coins weighing 20g or higher. Now I will define it between 23g-35g. This is mainly to get the size (diameter) as uniform as possible, i.e. Crown size. Some of the 20g coins that I have purchased are considerable smaller than most of the others. Then there is the Bahamas 5 dollars (pictured above) that is considerable larger. I want the coins to be as near the common crown size as possible. Ideally I would define the coins by size and not by weight, but I am working with the Krause in drawing up my list, and it only lists weight and not diameter. One country's coins that fit my requirements but do not have the ideal diameter is Hungary. The 1938 5 Pengo weighs 25g but since it is thick, the diameter is consequently smaller than a crown. I was about to keep the higher end at 30g, but decided to stretch it to allow for bullion coins, most of which are over 30g. For anyone interested I made a new list showing which coins that I have decide to remove from my crown type set list. I have indented the coins into the middle of the page and made the color greenish(aqua). Any comments/questions are more than welcome.

Sir Sisu Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'll take 'em. Though I am removing some coins from my crown type collection, I am not removing them from my entire collection. Sorry if I was unclear about that.
