One of my favorites, recent YouTube. 30,000 Minted. Won3 Awards in 1990: Best Crown, Best Overall, and Most Innovative - some say most awards ever won by a single coin (??). I have 6 of these bad boys. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP9cIzHIOJM[/youtube]
Isle of Man Issues Penny Black 175th Anniversary Coins March 23, 2015 By Michael Alexander Leave a Comment The Treasury of the Isle of Man Government have announced the issue of special anniversary coins to mark both their win in 1990 of the Coin of the Year Award as well as the 175th anniversary of the Penny Black stamp, which the original coin commemorated in 1990 when it was 150 years old. http://news.coinupdate.com/isle-of-man-issues-penny-black-anniversary-coins-4742/
Unfortunately video is not working for me. :/ This is probably the nicest portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the coin/medal I've seen in my life. Not big fan of coins with Queen (not that I have anything against her), as she is one *almost half of them*, but I feel big need that I need to get this coin. Putting this reverse on Britannia 2014 5oz proof would make even more killer coin. Killer killer coin actually.
Here you go Stark. Here is the the new video. the other one was deleted on accident. 30,000 Minted. Won 3 awards back in 1990. I believe the 1st to do so, and hasn't been acheived since then? Pretty amazing coin. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6eOehl6o7o[/youtube]
Did you mean to say "bad girls"...as bad girls are much better than bad boys! Gorgeous coin! Cheers, Luker
Man, you missed it, I just sold one at a steal on eBay. 66.00. trust me it was a steal. lol. I didn't post here because I didn't want to push my 'book.' But these really are amazing pieces. I have 5, and they will not be sold. sorry everyone, you had your chance. lol. And at a great price, me thinks.
If you intend to let go of one of these again, do let me know! I will be first in line for it! Thank you!
