Regarding your price/grade dilemma, I would offer two pieces of advice:
1. Decide on the minimum level of grade that you would be happy owning such a coin in.  For example, if you would be happy owning an example that had had quite a lot of circulation (say VF or lower) but was still pleasing to your eye, then that's what I mean by minimum level of grade.  But if, say, you'd only be happy with one in say EF or better, that will help you select which coin or coins may be suitable.
 
2.  Base your decision at least as much on eye appeal as on grade.  For example, I would much rather own a visually pleasing example in VF grade than a less visually pleasing example in EF grade.  What is visually pleasing, of course, is to some extent in the eye of the beholder!
 
Personally I would look for a 1935 crown in GEF or better, because these are relatively easy to find and relatively inexpensive.  For the Wreaths, I would decide on my minimum acceptable grade first, and then buy on eye appeal.  The good news for you is that both 1930 and 1933 are less sought after than 1934, 1936 and 1932, so the prices even in EF or better are not too scary.   But if you can find a visually pleasing example of each for say £250 I wouldn't be too bothered about seeking out one in higher grade if I was happy with the coin I had found.
Hope it helps - and yes, my 1930 Wreath is not for sale!

Pistrucci’s classic George & Dragon on a Silver Crown (£5) is a thing of the past and I think the last time it was used in this denomination prior to this 2013 issue, was on the 1951 George VI Festival of Britain Crown?
This Lovely Crown arrived today- it’s to commemorate ‘The Royal Birth’ (Prince George).  
Opening the box up was a delight 😃 

Despite the high mintage these are few and far between on the secondary market and prices of them can be eye watering.  
This one wasn’t too inordinate, price wise, it’s starting to tone- which the seller explained and the photos were terrible, which might well have put some of the competition off in the eBay auction.


 

Welcome to the world of Crown collecting 😃 - you do realise however, that you’re doomed, doomed I tell you.   The Crack- Cocaine of coin collecting 😂 
I would take @matt1r up on the offer- he can root out some lovely old Silver 👍 
 

My Baby Groot turned up as well today. The level of detail is just amazing. Very happy customer. Thank you @LiquidMetalsUK just amazing 😀

I know, doomed indeed, just like everyone else on this thread. Looking forward to the first hit @matt1r

I guess you could call it a blister pack, even if that's perhaps a bit of a stretch. Either way, this is the plastic packaging it came in, and I will release the 1/4 Maple from it once my coin capsule order has arrived, which should be soon.

Sehr gesuchte Münze und jetzt endlich angekommen. Sie sollten die ersten Ausgaben kaufen, sie sind in der Regel die teuersten einer Reihe. Maxe wünscht euch allen ein schönes Wochenende.

Got mine with a key ring loop 😃 
Thanks 🙏  @LiquidMetalsUK 
Will leave feedback for you mate!

It’s all personal preference condition x scarcity. Just keep an eye out on the sites mentioned above and wait until something you like the look of comes up.
If you need a 1935 crown I can find you a nice a/unc one for £20-25.
Good luck in your search 👍

Good people of the forum I am fortunate today that I’ve now sold enough of my Canadian finest to indulge in my new slippery slope of Crowns. My silver pill has been delivered by Amazon prime and I’m set to go but humbly seek some last minute advice before diving into the deep end. My shopping list is simple :-
1930 & 1933 Wreath Crowns, 1935 Jubilee Crown and half Crowns from both years and something from 1966, ideally a sixpence but don’t know if any were minted that year. My question is if it is worthwhile posting here in the wanted section of buy / sell for the wreaths as I know these coins are highly valued and would not normally be traded lightly by owners. Thanks to the link above I see Salford coins have a number for sale in the years I’m interested in but am not too sure about the grading system. Is for example AEF/EF worth £60 more than GVF. Hope someone can help in my new minefield!

I have been placing a couple of orders with my Belgian friends over the year, which I left in storage there to save on shipping. Recently, it was time to send all of those orders to me, so hereby a selection of all the goodies I have now. 

😁

Lovely Rocking Horse Crown- Thanks @arshimo2012
