<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 138208, member: 1824&quot;]I collect key dates of British Commonwealth coinage,but sometimes a worn or holed one is the only one available as a space-filler.I picked up an East African 1921 10c. coin.This piece has been struck slightly misaligned,but it is a scarce coin.As the old saying goes,&quot;You have to take what you can find.More often than not,another one may never turn up&quot;.This was true in the case of the 1788 Barbados &#039;Negro Head&#039; 1d. token.This piece was issued by Sir Phillip Gibbs,who was a plantation owner.A holed example turned up in a dealer&#039;s stock.He had a price of NZ$3 on it,so I quickly bought it,knowing full well that another one was unlikely to turn up.Since then,another one has never turned up,but an example of the 1792 Barbados &#039;King Neptune&#039; 1d. token did turn up.I also bought that one as well for the same reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
