I was the OP. Here is the LINK to the original post. At the time I didn't say where I saw it. It is in an ad in the September 19th issue of Coin World, page 26, bottom of the second column.



Edited to fix link.

without knowing any specifics I will say that it is reasonable due to the "Bank Holiday" which took place and if I'm not mistaken every Bank around the country did an inventory of their vault. isn't that when kegs of Red Large Cents were discovered??

I find the strange stories surrounding certain coins and their history a constant source of amazement. It seems there are always new and interesting tidbits being revealed. Cheers, RickO
