Those crowns are being stored by the Kingdom Historian. They actually
aren't in great shape at all; the inner lining is gone, the stone black
stars are missing and more. Not to mention they are oversized (for most
people) and unwieldy (for everyone; they are several un-joined pieces) to
wear.
Hrafn and I posted for photos with them on at 30th year:
