Hey guys and gals, thanks again for helping me ID that Pius 9th Medal. If you don't mind me asking another question- Is this a keeper??? I know nothing about this piece. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I believe you have a 1743 George II Old Head Crown in Around VF condition. Worth a fair bit of dosh if I'm right.

    Spink 2004 VF = £550 say $900

    Check this though because I don't know the size of a silver dollar.

    If it's a Halfcrown VF = £200

    I think Lloyd is right. It is a nice coin that grades in the VF range and based on your size description, it appears to be a Crown. It is a keeper.image

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    If VF worth a a lot more than $300. Lloyd, my 2003 Spinks has it at £350 in VF. Has it gone up that much in the 2004? Wow!

    it's not as worn as it looks - check the spinks grading pages - and i believe coincraft.. the EYE looks like that with very little wear.

    Don: 2004 VF = £550

    Lloyd, just curious. I see your eBay auctions are listed in US$. Do you find this better than in £ ?

    Lloyd, a US silver Dollar is about the same size as a British Crown, but not as neat.
