davidrj Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 But it's just a big sculpture, albeit in goldNot a real coin in my view, unless you can go into a shop and spend itJust think how many real coins you could buy with that sort of money Quote
Peckris Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 http://coinsweekly.com/en/page/4?&id=196I assume you're being ironic az? The thing is ghastly in every respect except the gold content (what a waste of gold!). The portrait is particularly hideous. If that thing came into my possession it would be melted down for its gold in no time Quote
azda Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 It certainly is ugly. I assume the buyer bought it for its gold weight instead of it being a coin Quote
PINMAN Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Not a real coin in my view, unless you can go into a shop and spend itJust imagine if you could,though.I can visualize the scene.shopkeeper....."Haven't you got anything smaller ?" . Quote
azda Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Packet of chewing gum please, do you have change of a million dollar coin? Quote
palves Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I was about to buy it, but then I reliased that it is very heavy and postage would be quite expensive. PA Quote
Colin G. Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 It looks a bit ropey to me I was thinking Chinese copy Quote
TomGoodheart Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 While it's very nice of someone getting their 3 year old to design a coin actually making it has to be the stupidest idea out. Surely this is the ugliest 'coin' in existence? Makes the Maklouf portrait look like the Mona Lisa.Or do we need an Ugly Coin thread? Quote
