Isle of Man Crowns

Hi All,

I wrote sometime ago about refocusing my collection and drawing in my aims.

For this reason ,I have decided to concentrate on IOM crowns ( there are loads) . I don't know of many collectors on Numista who collect them.

So, I am letting go a few crowns from elsewhere (Jersey,Guernsey,Falklands  Gibraltar ) go - but only for IOM ones. I have nt listed them as swaps but my collection is open to view should anyone want to offer a swap.

Many regards

Charles

I collect IOM proofs only of any denomination, not any old proof, I need to like the design as well...

They do have a huge variety to choose from, although my last purchase of a WW2 commemorative proof crown turned up with red stain marks across the queens face like a cat had a go at her, also looked as if it was dropped and slid across the floor. the reverse however was still mint. This was directly from the IOM post office.

I agree there are some great designs Harry Potter even. I have bought a display tray and capsules and they look great. I have decided to let go the channel island ones but as swaps for like - might be a mistake.

Why are there so few collectors . Sounds a rum do your coin from Post office.
