    LOL what argument :hug: I think Iwas too busy trying to see what the decorations were on Nelsons Jacket :goofer:

    Ps as a matter of interest does anyone know of a coin depicting Lord Cuthbert Collingwood?

    Wasn't Collingwood one of Admiral Nelson's Captains? I'm still looking for a coin depicting "Rollo The Granger" who was William the Conquer's Grandfather...

    You know I think it was best he (Nelson) died ther way he did. Once on the mainland his (ahem, Habits) would have further tarnished his image and well you know...
