I got to enjoy this one for a few hours after it came out of the envelope and subsequently went into another envelope to go off to Ye Olde Dead King @Aethelred. I liked it, and so did he. I decided to let him have it.

Now that I see it in a slab, I understand it’s size and it is bigger than I thought all this time. Nice of you to let him have it. Lundy puffins, they used to be an old favorite here some 16-17 years ago, right?

On the half-Puffin, you get half the puffin! I like the headshot, though.
The full Puffin has… well… the full puffin.

Is this a bronze coin? I don't know if I ever see hues like that on relatively pure copper.

Yes, they’re bronze.

You could get a set for 50¢ in 1940

LOL. I had the same thought. I’ll bet puffins are tough and fishy tasting, though. Think I’ll stick with Chick-Fil-A.

Congrats, it has great eye appeal.
