What about them? I have a few, but the only ones of any note
are an 1804 Bank of England Dollar and a 1705 Maundy Groat.

You would think someone wanting to start a conversation might ask more
specifics. But I'll play, too!
Previous to my visit to Boston last week, I owned 2 pretty boring English
crowns from the 1600's. However, the only coin I brought back with me and
have added to my collection is an undated (but type is of 1642-3) Charles I
crown. This has a knight on horseback on the obverse. I've wanted one for
a long time, and this one was low-enough in grade that I could afford it,
yet detailed enough that I still wanted it.
There was one across the aisle from where I found this ... on first look, my
SO told me it was $425. I was started and instantly asked to see it. Upon
picking it up, I chucked as an extra ZERO was uncovered by the move. Oh
well, I thought for a second I had found the bargain of my life!
BTW, the subway advise worked out great, and I'm glad we didn't try to drive
and park downtown. Since I had spent all of my money on Thursday, we spent
Friday tooling around more of Boston. Took the subway from Alewife to
Copley Square, which required a transfer! Ok, ok, so it wasn't that tricky
... it was a first for me, tho!

"chuckled". It sounds more like I was sick without the correction :).

English coins, meaning from before the union with Scotland? After
that, they are properly known as British coins.

The Maundy coin sets are limited in mintage, interesting, and a good
value considering their scarcity. I collected various sets of
Victoria, from young girl to widow at least four varieties.

Glad to accommodate! Ian has been too busy to make the correction and
I felt it to be my responsibility.

My maternal grandmother's (born 1900) maiden name was Brown, and both
of her parents were born in Scotland.
It pains me to think I might be related to Golden ($290 per troy
ounce) Gordon, lately Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

On the other hand, you might be related to the John Brown that was a
servant of Queen Victoria.
take care,

related to the Scottish Stevensons famous for their lighthouse
designs. Oh, and some writer guy...

Well, I drink a lot of it! Ian introduced me to Talisker, and I have
to admit, I like it!

If you haven't had a look at http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk for a while
it may repay a visit. A lot of images have been added in recent months.
