Silver Queen Vic Crowns

[AaaGee]

So, i bought a silver Crown from here and it turned up today. VERY happy with it. Would like to get the full set. Only after clean and tidy, not minters. In no rush to buy and plan to pick em up as and when.

How many designs (Queens heads?) Were there on the crown?

 

This is the one i have, and roughly the condition im after.

 

Cheers all.

Four different designs to my knowledge - Young Head, Gothic Crown, Jubilee Head and Veiled Head.

The Gothic Crown will cost an arm and a leg !

Cambridgeshire Coins have a fair few.

I was supposed to be collecting 1887-1900 in an easily affordable grade but have stalled after getting two, must get motivated again.

Gothic crowns weren't issued for circulation. So if you want to reduce the overall expense of a set, you can happily exclude it.

The young heads are my favourite.
