Who but an idiot would slab a 1942 florin? The slab is five times the worth of the coin There again there a many idiots that could , I surpose

EF OFF?

In a nutshell

Asda have them and sainsburys

Remember I did say it was the first time in fifteen years I had found something , checked hundreds of times and never found anything thats why I mentioned it , I would not surgest anyone took it up as a full time job.

Well someone left coins worth about six pounds in a machine and did not take them home - hardly CRIME OF THE CENTURY ,thats a supertramp album isn't it?

Reject box rejects all non current coin - say you put a usa dime in it it would pass straight through and go into the reject box as it is not legal curency in the uK same with a pre decimal penny. It is not given to charity but passes through the machine so you have the option of taking it home - if you don't and choose to leave it there then you cannot moan as you at least COULD have taken it back

The train to birmingham coin fair this weekend is normally full of dogs, (And their owners) bloody dogs dont even pay, (freeloaders).

Those coin machines in many supermarkets that turn your change into a voucher to spend in the supermarket

Somebody must have been really hard-up few forgeries of later victorian bronze are known.

Hey we all have stories about the one that got away . I must have been second in loads of ebay auctions Coin collectors love to gab on about the ones that got away , just like fishermen....

There were little clues over the last ten years or so that something like this would happen. - russian help in syria -the novichok sailsbury affair -and above all the mighty war chest they were building up and Putin making himself life president , dictator in effect. The real tragic thing is we don't seem to learn from history and are forced to repeat it over and over again. Boris another churchill ? Not sure about that , he does love a drink and a party though.......

Lovely tone as well

While all wars would be better never started the fact is that when a war comes along jokes will be made , my grandfather was a political cartoonist with a national newspaper , he in effect earned part of his wages from drawing caricatures of Hitler ,Stalin ,etc. He was gassed with mustard gas in the first world war by the way.(And I am very afraid that Putin has something a lot worse that that in store as he showed in Syria.) God help us . While you might not think anything or think a joke is in poor taste its a quite a british thing to mock an enemy look at the jokes about Hitler we still find funny like that episode of faulty towers(so loved by the germans as well, funny enough.) To laugh at something that scares us makes us somehow feel better

Unbelievable news that the double-headed eagle has been parading today through the streets of Chernobyl. One Russian regiment actually found one there and has made it it's mascot.

Well a country is on its last legs when it has to depend on a truss!

I was ready for purple rain and even november rain , but this?

NOT GUILTY

I love the quote -Meercats are fictional characters- Not at my local zoo they are not

It has to be serious when this happens The Comparethemarket price comparison site has pulled ads featuring the animated rich Russian meerkat Aleksandr Orlov from news bulletins and content about the Ukraine war. The firm said it had reviewed its media strategy due to the sensitivities around the Russian invasion. Orlov, and sidekick Sergei, feature in one of the advertising industry's most recognised campaigns. The firm stressed in a statement: "The meerkats are fictional characters." Comparethemarket continued: "They have no association with Russia and the current situation. We are continually reviewing our advertising to ensure we're being sensitive to the current situation."

good name for a film franchise

I had one that looked similar I broke it out of it's plastic package and it still has a little goldish glow after all these years really quite attractive , it's certainly better than an ord cn coin the coin resides among my decimal qe2 coins, I never collected all decimal crowns just the ones I thought were important.

yes another way both the same - it will prob end up in the usa

Contemp fake probably worth about £45

I would do you a set for £22 and still make a decent profit - if ever you buy of the london mint (An almost fraudulant name by the way) just drop the price by 75% and thats the coins true value
