I wish I could help you! I actually found this forum looking to answer a very similar question. I have a number of these little blighters myself -...
OK - it is an excuse to post pictures of this one I have just picked up - but do you have any you can share? I know this is predominately an...
OK - I can't compete with gold coins like the above. Una and the Lion in particular is a mind-bogglingly expensive coin! To get back to the real...
