    "Uncirculated in mint condition
    Individually presented in plastic bags.
    A nice gift or possible investment"

    Churchill Crown + PVC = solid investment.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that!! Hurry, hurry! Time's running out!

    I think the Dead King's looking for these investment vehicles, so I don't want to step on his feet.

    Well in all fairness, they do call car purchases "investments." I expect they would perform at least as well.

    Poor Winston... To this day, I believe that he is the only Prime Minister that has ever been featured on a English coin and even to this day, The coin has not been accepted and most collectors shun the coin as if it where inferior... Have you no shame? Has the Roosevelt Dime been subject to the same issues? I don't think so.

    PS. There are still some Woody Hayes commemorative Crowns available at the low price of....imageimage

    In all seriousness (he said laughinglyimage), does anyone (of our esteemed members with these investment quality holdings) have about 5 of these they would sell? I have a project in mind and need more of these to get started. Here is one of my past "projects". It's owner gets a good laugh every time he looks at it. I have better paint and brushes now and am ready to create heirloom Winstons.

    The US equivalent of the Churchill crown!

    Sorry, I sent 20 of those wretched things back to the bank a few months ago. The bank personnel took a long hard look at them before I got my 20-spot.

    I was limited in color choice and paint quality the last time I sat down to play. I now have some good paint that is designed specifically for metals, and in a full palette.

    I don't have any Churchill crowns, I just can't afford such a rare and sought after coin.

    It was the last of the old Five Shilling Crowns and the only British coin with the bust of a commoner, that has to be worth something (I guess about a buck).
