    Was it part of multinational satanic prank orchestrated by Danish art gallery Kund Langkow's?

    There is more than enough real hellish crap going on in this world that a 1973 devil coin is laughable. And the background is boringly empty. Peace Roy

    Is this a token or an actual coin that can be spent at a store?

    I wouldn't be interested in such a coin.

    Neither would I but I see many coins here that I wouldn't be interested in but I don't feel it necessary to point this out for every coin that I see here that I don't like.

    @PerryHall ...No, not an actual spending coin....more like a token....I would like one since it is certainly a weird and unusual one with a story. Cheers, RickO

    I'm not offended. I'm just concerned that you are offending the devil and I'd hate to see anything bad to happen to you. :o;):D

    I mentioned this in another thread but several years ago I bought on eBay an AU55 Liberty gold $5 in an old small ANACS slab with the serial number 666666. You could say that the devil made me do it. :o

    There are those like the Sovereign with St. George killing the dragon, positive message there.

    I wouldn't want a devil coin, dangerous realm. http://www.fanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/twilight-zone-mystic-seer.jpg

    What was funny is the eBay seller really hyped the serial number. A forum member here made a post about it with a link to that auction because of the unusual 666666 serial number otherwise I would have missed it. I already had several Liberty half eagles so I didn't really need the coin but I really wanted that slab so I made a high bid. When the auction was over I discovered I won at a price that a regular AU common date Liberty half eagle would have brought. The seller and I communicated about the unusual serial number and he said that he was very disappointed with the results but he did honor his commitment to sell it at the winning bid.

    I kept thinking that devil dude looked familiar and then I found where I think he got his inspiration. This is a 1973 Norway 5 Ore, the stylized lion appears on other Norwegian coins around this time, usually on a shield.

    Successful BST deals with mustangt and jesbroken. Now EVERYTHING is for sale.
