Quick fun auction - Slabbed 38 crown....woohoo!

[GF]

Have a lovely slabbed 38 crown for your auctioning pleasure - from Wiki "The 1938 crown is one of the key pre-decimal coins and difficult to find in uncirculated condition and very scarce in choice grades. At the time of writing (November 2013) just 4 1938 crowns have been graded by PCGS as MS64 with none higher. Budget conscious collectors may find themselves having to settle for a problem-free circulated 1938 crown for their collections."

Anyway....spot is around $17 so we can start there. Ends Wednesday night at 7pm. No anti snipe rules in place. I get the last say in a dispute.

Wiki bump - "The Crown was originally intended to commemorate the ascension of King Edward VIII; however, due to his abdication, it was instead struck to commemorate the ascension of King George VI. The Crown quickly lost its commemorative appeal and its lack of popularity led to its production's being terminated. 1,008,000 Australian Crowns were minted in 1937 and 101,600 were minted in 1938, making the 1938 much more valuable today."
