Wow, and they got a CH crown too! (LOL)
Actually great story, thanks for sharing.
Ajaan, it's your circulated Churchill Crown you've been looking for!
Cool find, but the story is a little suspect. Kid playing with prooflike 1700s gold coin? Even kids know gold from base metals.
Sweet !!!
I kinda smell something fishy with this story.

I also wonder how true that story is.

But it's on the internet and I'm sure it's been thoroughly checked out by the internet police. It must be true.
