You do realize that the survival rates for the 2026 cents will be virtually 100%. For the older cents which entered circulation, it is a lot lower.
The coin is a gold noble, and it is raw. I have a half noble of Edward III who was the king who restarted Bitish gold coinage after it ended in...
Thank you, @jeffB!

Think of it as like when you dig a ditch. You have to throw the dirt somewhere, usually beside the ditch. That is raised, like the metal on the...
