So I was at a dealer's table and looking at some eye candy when a fellow behind me says "look at those nice british pennies".

So I looked.

Turns out he was the owner of this one in the case .........and he had consigned this coin to the dealer.

That did not stop me from buying it. Mintage 323,000. This coin crossed from an NGC 65 slab.

Very scarce grade for this date.

I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Cool piece.
    Given my mother was English and I am probably the biggest Anglophile in my state, I wish I could get more excited about British coins.
