Help!!! Can any one tell what Crown size this is?

Shimmy

Hopefully this is the Small crown. I took it to a coin dealer and he thinks that this is the Small crown (grades aprox. G4)
Sorry for the POOR pic, i have to wait until Xmas B4 I can open the Digital blue QX5 Microscope..... lol

Sorry Shimmy,

I can't see the coin well, but I do like the time slip, and a 13.00 quarter mile isn't too shabby! Kudos to Girliegirl on the pix of the Grand Prix!

Here is apicture to see the differences between large and small crowns.

Thanks. I actually managed to hit a 12.99... not too bad for a V6 (3800 S/C)
Which girl?...... lol

Updated pic, hope this is better.

Large Crown. 95% sure. The crown goes too far over to be a small crown. The left edge of the small crown only cover about 2/3 the '2' in the date. Yours covers the whole '2'.

Shimmy

Thanks Don. Thats what I thought at first, but when the coin dealer said that he thought it was a small crown it got me wondering....

Paul, a small crown is very scarce - a $2000 coin in that grade. Too bad it isn't so. Show it to another dealer, or better yet, go back to the dealer who said it is a small crown, and offer to sell it to him. I really think it is a large crown but I could be wrong.

Shimmy

Thanks again Don, i checked the Charlton book and i see the difference where the crown covers the "2" and you are correct... I was concertrating too much on the details of the crown.....lol

Agreed.
