" Guttering " can be very dangerous !!...A friend tried it and the Magpies took all the items he had left there to get to tone.....oh oh oh ...ouch !!

It's rare because it's a mule, no?

LC's description doesn't seem to add up, somehow... "Proof ESC 247 UNC" - is that meant to be two grades, or the strike and then a mention that it wasn't circulated? The London coins one was definitely a proof, I viewed it. It was ok but had a few marks and cabinet friction on the high pointsAs a buyer/collector, if I chose to buy a proof, by and large it needs to be FDC or very near so. If I was a date or proof collector I may accept less than that if it was scarce or rare. The wear on the reverse of this proof coin (however it came about, 'cabinet friction' is a euphemism for 'wear' to me) renders it totally undesirable to me, each to his or her own I know!
