Crowns of the World

Pyrite

Yep. I have to do my own approval.

Hey Mr. Long Neglected Thread!
I finally got a Comoros crown. Admired one in my dealer's collection in 1972.

Dunno why I waited this long.

Never seen a Comoros crown. 50 years was probably worth the wait,  interesting design.

I have utmost respect for John Albanese and CAC but I think they are way,  way,  to late to establish a CAC grading service for world coins imo.

Top Pop a wowee coin in hand.

Purchased this well preserved example recently.

By allowing this thread, is CAC hinting that they will soon be accepting foreign coins?

This coin surfaces are sublime and nary a mark!

IT was struck from the Potosi mint …..a crown you don’t see very often in this high grade .

I'm surprised but glad that I'm able to contribute the first magic date coin to this thread...




Also, @Seatedman , that Gothic...holy moly........

Seatedman

Thanks Cladiator, love the natural toning on your 8R. I'd like to contribute the second magic date coin. Not a high grade but it took some time to find a natural looking example.

Seatedman

Anyone have a magic date to share?

Very tough in uncirculated!
