Hello and welcome to the sale catalogue for my coin collection which Stanley Gibbons Baldwin’s have been so kind to put together on my behalf.&nbsp;I have been an avid collector of English coins since my earliest recollections. I started out the usual way by sorting through my mother’s change in the hopes of finding collectible pieces, pennies mostly – of course my definition of “collectible” was very different back then and was very loosely defined. However, around 40 years or so ago my career had progressed to the point where I could begin to afford to indulge my hobby in a more focused manner and so I began visiting coin shops, buying from fixed price mailing lists (remember this all started in the nineteen eighties!), attending trade shows and auctions in person and bidding in online auctions. Over time my interests evolved and they progressed to include both hammered and milled crowns, hammered and milled half crowns, copper pennies and then later, to the silver coinage of the English civil war’s Commonwealth period, when we were briefly a republic.&nbsp;It is now time for some of these pieces to find new homes in the hope that their new owners also enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship which English coins exhibit. This sale comprises some top quality and extremely rare crowns including the stunning 1853 Gothic, a beautiful milled Briot crown of 1631-2, a date run of 5 spectacular Commonwealth crowns, the famed Tanner’s copy of the 1658 Cromwell crown, an 1839 proof crown and an excellent selection of other high quality and desirable crowns and half crowns, along with some classic rarities and interesting varieties.&nbsp;Thank you for your interest and I hope that you are successful in transferring some of these coins into your own collection.&nbsp;Abby Welsh&nbsp;‡ Please Note: all lots in The Abby Welsh Collection of Crowns &amp; Halfcrowns | C26003&nbsp; are subject to 5% import tax applied on the hammer price for UK residents only.
