There is a DD on this coin well not this one but this type I look but never found one.
I can't even find my Churchill Crown to check... Spent over an hour digging through drawers of misc Franklin mint sets, Canadian, assorted low ball US mint sets, and foreign proof sets.

Churchill was the Prime Minister of Great Britain..
PRIME MINISTER PM
See, I thought if I posted this, everyone would know what I was getting at and..... oh never mind.
Good play on letters, I got it because I saw most of that thread.
Some may not have seen the now removed "Removed" thread which contained a small gentlemanly tiff that led to the posting of some Private Messages (PM's), and contributed to the deserved nuclear annihilation of the discussion. Posting PM's (Private Messages) is generally frowned upon, so Churchill was a safe "PM" (Prime Minister) to post.> If anyone does not understand after this explanation, then they are invited to look into cruises across the River Styx. It's just lovely this time of year.
"Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip." - Winston Churchill
Referenced here as I think this quote appeared in the now deleted thread. I don't know why as that discussion was brimming with tact[icle verbal scorching radiating in all directions].
Last one is the specimen - which although looking better in hand is not that much better than a "65" currency IMO.
I think people get mixed up when it comes to this coin - IMO excellent die work, and artistic view of a man perhaps not so handsome.
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

However, Churchill had a dark side to him that is not well publicized. If you search, you will find out about some of his shortcomings. I will not go into them here as the thread will instantly go poof.
I can't find anything on the internet concerning his "dark side". Can you provide us with a hint or at least a link? Thanks.

Thx for posting - I don't see much difference - is the specimen more matte?
Maybe not considered handsome............but he looks like a true 'thinker'

Almost every historical figure has baggage...
Especially when they get deported from their country.
All that was a low blow...
Hoard the keys.
I am surprised that no one is manufacturing and selling a (real) silver Churchill crown.
