Received today and continuing the Crown Type Set.  This time a 1960 Crown- to celebrate the British Exhibition in New York.  This is an example of a Prooflike (from polished dies) 70,000 mintage.  
The reverse design was the same used on the 1953 Coronation Crown (date excepted), the edge reeded instead of the incuse lettering of the 1953, this design was recycled on the 2014 Reverse of the Prince George 1st Birthday Crown.   The Obverse bears the Mary Gillick Portrait of Her Majesty.
This none circulating Crown was also produced as a ‘normal’ issue of 1,024,000 Copper Nickel Crowns and a tiny mintage of just 50 were issued as Frosted VIP Proof’s- again Cupronickel but the VIP Proof will set you back two or three thousand pounds 🤯 rather than the tenner I was able to buy the Prooflike for 😃 

Well what can I say.... this is absolutely stunning in the flesh..... (mark on nose is fluff on case and I didn't have time to retake picture :-))

Received this absolute stunner today 😍
Unfortunately it’s got to go but what a Beaut 🙌

Received today, another for the Cabinet, this time an 1845 Victoria Crown.  Quite obviously cleaned at some point but nevertheless, some nice detail can be seen, the Cinquefoil stops and the Wyon inscription 😃 
A couple of gaps made ready in the Cabinet tray for nice examples of an 1821 George IV Secundo and the 1893 Victoria when funds permit.
You can start to see which Rabbit hole I have gone down here 🙄 

Very good 100 lire Vatican coin, many thanks to @paolo for the deal.

2Oz Bacchus round from Intaglio Mint, 3/4Oz Canadian Owl 2021 and new round - Sheriff - in Provident/JM Bullion series Wild West

French fries. They are pretty popular over there. We ain't have them, so we don't know how important french fries can be.
 
But serious, how we get from Afghanistan to the pilgrims here? For me a bulletproof turban for fighterpilots in this context makes more sense. I should develop one. And a stealth one for special opps. Did the US Army giftet also a submarine before they knew, that there is no ocean in Afghanistan? Would be nice to see a buch of Taliban trying to drive it off a mountain.
