The Crown denominated coins from the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, & the Isle of Man should be listed separately from the Pounds & Pence coins.

No they should not. A crown is 25 pence. They are placed appropriately in the Isle of Man listings. The only crowns not in place are bullion crowns.

Those that are denominated in Crowns instead of Pence should be listed separately - & a lot of them are in cupro-nickel as well as in gold & silver.

IOM crowns are marked crown and are valued at 25 pence. Do you have a bit more than opinion to support your suggestion?

Same with Gibraltar. Also...the crowns that are predecimal are separated from crowns that are decimal. They are listed in their denominated order. When they are bullion they are listed in a different crown currency, or will be when listed. Since the copper nickels are circulating at times I feel that in the case of Isle of Man and Gibraltar they are appropriately placed.

I agree with Oklahoman . . They are correct where they are.

You are not going to find a 1 Crown depicting a subject with no connection to the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, or the Isle of Man in circulation. Among them, Manx 1 Crowns depicting George Washington on the reverse.

Back in the 1990's, the Pobjoy Mint struck a deluge of coins denominated in Crowns ranging from 1/5 Crown right up to over 1 Crown.

It is those that need to be placed in separate sections.

The 1/5 crowns will appear where they are supposed to when they are indexed to the face value. All crowns, regardless of denomination, will be placed in a bullion category if their metal is .999 fine or higher.
You dont have a say in whether a coin should be excluded because you cant find a link to the issuing nation. I cant either. That is the job of the government of Isle of Man or of Gibraltar.
The link with George Washington is thru his wife, Martha Custis, who had familial links to the island. The placements will remain unless a piece is found to be bullion.

A lot of the 1 Crown coins are Cupro-Nickel & .925 fine Silver.

.999 is the highest fineness - & there is nothing higher.

​Not strictly true, 'four nines fine' is slightly higher, but I get your point.
