    Actually I'll probably be in the minority, but I don't like the look. I've never liked grey toning... the coin looks dull for an MS64. I especially don't like the hit behind the eye. The peripheral color on the reverse is nice though...

    Then I will join you in the minority also CP I am not wild about the look either. For me I'd like to see it darker for my tastes.

    It's not bad, despite the hits on the obverse. I think the original toning is impressive, though it may not be to some people's liking. Mac's is far superior; if this is a 64, his is a 67.

    It is possible considering the current strength of the pound sterling in trading with the US Dollar.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    For that kind of money, I would be looking elsewhere.

    In my opinion that coin looks worse than Chelsea FC.

    Even that coin looks better than Chelsea FC at the moment.

    I'd be more interested in this

    image Is Avram Grant going to be out because he doesn't have the licence to coach in the EPL?

    Avram Grant probably won't be in the job long enough to afford that coin.

    I rather like the look of it but I would like the look 10 grand more.

    As I said, Avram Grant probably wouldn't be in the job long enough...

    He was sacked this weekend. I am surprised he lasted as long as he did.

    Eeh, Chelsea went through a tragedy. Terry slipping and hitting the goalpost, then Anelka choosing to shoot on Van der Saar's right side, against all odds, I really felt sad for them, because they deserved to win just as much as MU. So long Avraam.

    What does this have to do with the Red Wings...?

    An amazingly short leash apparently. I wonder how many coaches have been "released" after losing in the Champions League final - much less in a shoot-out? image




    I'm glad they are your team wybrit - it must be hard to root for a team with a volatile owner.

    Farthing, I have to agree with you. Chelsea were written off as a challenger for the premiership last year and came back to make it close. They should have won the European Cup - the players wanted it very badly. I'm no fan of Avram Grant, but given the team of prima donnas he had to contend with, he did a credible job. The guy who should lose his job is Didier Drogba.
