    "Off with their heads" sounds a bit extreme for these counterfeiters.

    . . . How about "Off with their hands"?

    The image isn't good enough to scan but it's easy to tell that the barcode does not match the real slab.

    All I know at this point is when I do decide to add and 81 CC to my morgan set, I'm going to ask Jack to find one for me (or at least ask him to double check the one find/want lol)

    If you have ever read about how the British executed people, right up until the time of George III (early 1800s), cutting off your hands was almost mild. The scene from the movie, “Brave Heart” was accurate.

    And the sad part was she didn’t do anything wrong except to be used by her elders to gain power in the government. When a small tried to depose Queen Mary, that monarch reluctantly decided Lady Jane Grey had to go.

    Jane Grey was queen for nine days. No coins were made for her then, but fantasy pieces were made later.
