Okay, how about we call up the mints and have them replace the queen with another brit...Mr. Bean?
If it wasn't plated, it would be a MS coin no doubt. At least you didn't overpay for it :thumb:
Hey guys, praise this fellow for his desire to put the set together regardless of how much he spent, or if it's cleaned, or is used ketchup to get...
I agree, I've seen photos of some dropped letter coins from just regular change finds. They are pretty interesting.
All these guys and gals have it right Koen, focus on one big purchase as opposed to buying several coins. I recently went to a show with only...
