Good evening my friends....

It’s been a long week already and it’s just Tuesday. Yesterday I was told by my landlord that the building and property are sold. They are knocking down the building to construct a four story business center. So I need to be out by the end of June.

So I’m extremely under the gun, and trying to find a new place which isn’t easy in my area. Plus I need to get the kitchen that I just started completed on time. Not fun at all......

As I digress.....

I did however receive a package in the mail today. This was an eBay purchase that I made nearly a month ago now. Yep, I did say a month ago. This was purchased from a seller in Romania, the package was in prelucrare (which translates to processing) for over two weeks before shipping. Then it took eleven days to get here after that.

I have been looking for a nice version of this coin for a long time now and I found this one and took a shot with it.

The coin that I am about to share with you is a 1935 British Crown. This is no ordinary crown it’s a jubilee crown in honor of George V.

Here are the specs on the coin:

Year: 1935
Mint: The Royal Mint
Mintage: 715,000
Obverse: George V head
Reverse: St. George slaying dragon
Fineness: .500 silver
Weight: 28.2759 grams (.91 Oz.)
Diameter: 38.61mm
Edge: Incused lettering
(DECUS ET TUTANEN - ANNO REGINA XXV) which translates to an ornament and safeguard 25.

I really think the reverse of this coin is awesome which is why I wanted it. And this coin did not disappoint me at all. Look at the condition of this coin, there is plenty of luster on it and only one tiny nick that I can see. This is without a doubt being sent out for grading.

Thank you for viewing my friends...
