Afternoon everyone….
I spoke about a trade that I did a while back with a friend the other day. He got a graded Peace dollar, in return I chose several world coins that I really wanted.
The other day, I showed off an 1888 Peruvian Un Sol coin. Well today I’m going to share a beautiful example of a 1935 British Jubilee Crown.
The coin is in fantastic condition, and will be sent out for grading.
***Here is the coin…
