<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 2370004, member: 74571&quot;]I certainly wouldn&#039;t toss it, Eric.&nbsp; Who knows.&nbsp; Perhaps it is the holed variety.&nbsp; Furryfrog02 is correct, it&#039;s not in high grade.&nbsp; But it&#039;s almost a century old, and there&#039;s a great story behind Haakon VII, the Danish prince who became Norway&#039;s first king (other than being under a Danish or Swedish king) for roughly five centuries.&nbsp; Haakon refused to accept the Norwegian Parliament&#039;s bid unless he was affirmed by a national referendum, in which he received an overwhelming positive vote.&nbsp; He was an extremely popular monarch, as was his son, Olav V, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in 1969.&nbsp; Haakon and young Olav and family spent the WW II years in London, as well as some time in the USA, after narrowly escaping the occupying German military.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
