So? What's keeping you from taking some funds out of petty cash and buying it, Mr. Moneybags?

wybrit · December 18, 2003 1:25PM

An amazing piece, BTW!

Aethelred · December 18, 2003 1:31PM

I can't find the pillow case I stuffed with hundreds!

Darkhorse · December 18, 2003 1:32PM

I could buy that but I don't wanna.

MacCrimmon · December 18, 2003 1:42PM

Now you're talking!!

I would much rather have a complete milled type run of crowns; patterns, proofs, business strikes, of all Monarchs from C1 thru E2 than a boring UNA.

I always thought Scotchmen hated the British.

<< I always thought Scotchmen hated the British. >>

It's Scotsmen, HG.......we only make Scotch!

We're only agreeable with the Brits if we've had enough Scotch!

Native Scots succumbed in 1746, but the story had a new beginning in 1780/81 when the largely Scots-Irish Carolinian Patriots wiped the Southern colonies free of old George's foothold (ah, revenge is sweet!!) forever freeing the U.S. of A. of tyranny (well, at least until that thug FDR wormed his way in).........

Time to emigrate again? Nah!

Two reasons for Victoria; the engraving/designs of the coins, and Our Dear Victoria revived all things Celtic on assuming the throne.....'ave you never 'eard of Balmoral, lad?

....and to thoroughly hijack this thread......

Three men: one Irish, one English, and one Scottish, were out walking along the beach together one day. They came across a lantern, and a Genie popped out of it. "I will give you each one wish, that's three wishes in total", said the Genie.
The Irishman said, "I am a fisherman, my Da' was a fisherman before me. His Da' was a fisherman before him, and my son will be one too. I want all the oceans full o' fish for all eternity." So, with a blink of the Genie's eye "FOOM" the oceans were teeming with fish.
The Englishman was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around England, protecting her, so that no one will get in for all eternity.
Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye "POOF" there was a huge wall around England.
The Scot asked, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall." The Genie explained, "Well, it's about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick, protecting England so that nothing can get in or out."
The Scot said, "Fill it up with water."

And, one of my favorites!!!

Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye went to study at an English university and was living in the hall of residence with all the other students there. After he had been there a month, his mother came to visit him. "And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked. "Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The one on that side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop. The one on the other side screams and screams all night." "Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with these awful noisy English neighbors?"
"Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them. I just stay here quietly, playing me bagpipes!"

Lloyd · December 18, 2003 7:25PM

ajaan · December 18, 2003 7:46PM

Note to Mrs ajaan: add that coin to my Christmas list.

I'm saving up for the Una, can't buy this one.

Lordy, lordy, I can see why you want it!!

MacCrimmon · December 19, 2003 12:43AM

Olde Dead King.....it's very affordable, actually. Simply drive a beater and replace those SUV payments for 4-5 years with payments to NEN, or the finance company of your choice!!

Stork · May 2, 2004 8:36PM

The link doesn't show the Una and the Lion anymore...but looking through the list of foreign inventory...it is SOLD. So who here is the buyer?

MSD61 · May 2, 2004 9:39PM

Mac you're always a refreshing ray of sunshine for me

Aethelred just buy the bloody coin already

"Paddy came into the pub this morning and sat down next to me with a long face. I says, lad what's with the long face?" Paddy replies, " I've got some good news and some bad news." I says, " well, Paddy, out with the bad news. What is it?" Paddy sighs, "well it seems the British have landed on the moon!" I says, " My, this is sad news indeed! So tell me the good news." Paddy smiles and says, " the good news is it was the whole lot of 'em!"

YIKES, Nice LiteSide coin, I have two of them, but not quite that nice, nor that year....

NEN changed the link, I don't even remember what the original coin was, but I think it may have been a Five Guinea.

Stork · May 3, 2004 9:02AM

Sorry, it was Una and the Lion...I would have linked the picture but was lazy and just replied to this thread. The price listed was in the $48K range. So does this mean you didn't sell everything and buy it?

I just don't think my wife would understand me spending $48k on a coin.

The piece in question was a pattern crown (silver or tin) or fiver or somesuch of C2 or J2. Fabulous coin if I recall....as struck and gem. I think it was about $40000....chump-change for the olde dead one.
