It's "Metal Health Monday!". Post your coins please.....

Bought one from a dealer in Ireland while I was over there for a wedding this past new years. Sorry for the bad pics.

That's an exceptionally nice one @H8_modern . I started a side collection of these and have a set but there are a lot of variants and stories. Some years ago 2 I bought from and corresponded briefly with Philip Timmins the author of this book.




Sadly he passed in 2024 but his book is still available from Token Publishing in the UK and I sometimes see earlier editions on Ebay at bargain prices. The book goes into detail of the "why , what and when" of each individual year of issue. It opened my eyes to a lot of new history and I would recommend it.
