Cool addition! This is a coin I'd like to get, just been stuck on getting other coins

 

may i asked how much that costs id like to get one

 

This should be enough....

 

how would that be enough theres no value in that quote nor how how much he paid

 

IMHO any EI coin with a visible profile is a winner. You see so many that have full legends but no nose. I bought one over 20 years ago and have loaned it out twice to brides wanting a 'sixpence in her shoe.' They are so thin that they are comfortable (I'm told). My wife used an EII 6d.

 

It was sold on the CT For Sale area. 30 seconds of searching and I found it here. http://www.cointalk.com/t226821/

That was Windchild's point...

 

not all ct transactions go threw the sale forum. but i did not think to look there thanks

 

I like E1. I have almost all the silver denominations. I really like the "milled" six pence.

 

Exactly. I see too many more worn then this and I just ignore them, but this had at least some recognizable profile. It has a section of waviness but I can live with it.

Great coin AN.

 

Interesting Mat.
