Hmmmmm - reckon I am going to have to talk to Peter about getting a lockup built for the whippersnappers :kewl:
It is quite common and has no value premium. May as well spend them.
Common ? No, but they could be found occasionally. As I recall I only managed to find a couple between 1960 and 1965. And the silver started...
I'll go look and post there ;)
That is correct Joe, I never have. But there are a lot of things in this hobby that I have never seen before, even after almost 50 years. But then...

Given that I know that seller personally and have the utmost confidence in him; and given that he knows a hundred times more about these coins...
Most if it yes. I did have to look the specific weight changes and years they occurred, but that's all.
About all I can find is that it appears to be a Dutch medal of some rarity. I found mention of one being for sale for 2000 Euros. No idea, for...
