1,008,000 minted as far as I can see, that appears to be a really nice nic however

 

[Heatho]

Nice example Dave, did you find it while detecting?

 

[Davent]

Nah mate, it was my grandfathers lucky coin. He lost years ago, and he reckoned that's why his luck was down with fishing and bowls, I found it for him, and the look on his face was priceless. It was the only thing I wanted from him after he passed away in 2006, and I just got it! Means a lot to me. Its priceless.
I think you can buy them for $10 or so. But I never seem to see any others....

I've seen some go on Ebay auctions for more than $10.....Some around $30-$40 up to $100 or more...Beauty of a coin :Y:

Get rid of the 5 dollar note and have a 5 dollar coin- I'm all for that

And how many of these would you like in your pocket at any one time? :lol:

And probably buy pants with reinforced pockets while you're at it.
