T for tower,tower of what?

T just like ,I, but there is a bar a limit T.

Letter L just like a leg for walking without the lower bar just like an I,I and A is most same pointing upwards ,I, like a phallic symbol pertaining to God.

L leg for walking or going to a path or marching on,just marching but not flying.

COLLECTORS COIN GB 2007

I mostly visit that site thier is another one that goes far upto celtc coin and history other members know where that is.

www.michael-coins.co.uk and obcourse http://www.predecimal.com/p1celtic.htm the moderator can edit this, another info that GB secret is know not only to specialized collector both in GB and world but also to others what ever are thier intersest.

This section is one of the hardest to comprehend a lot of surfing in the net and reference books, Good info dutch form time to time I visit your article,Thank you

Great article stujoe, hope you will not delete this article for future reference of error and variety collector, there are many major and minor varieties of coin especially in the US were most of the market are base and were it originated, there are issue concerning collectors between those who collect normal struck, mint and proof differs from collectors who collect errors, that is why another grading company was formed, I am just asking correct me if I'm wrong,But the thing is that most of the unusual or obvious error coin was purchased in the mint, that other error collector may not have it, for before it goes to circulation the clever one come first and when it is offered to the market it is priced as premium, I don't now what premium is whe converted to US dollar, the point is that error collector will have a hard time owning one obvious coin as the one you posted since not all collector have enough money to buy a coin like that, for me that kind of collection is only applicable to those who have lots of money, as for other error and varieties that are priced as premiun but needed a keen eye to detect it from circulation that is where I am interested since the lostduchman have an article on it and also browse it for several times maybe you can give a least of example for the viewing pubic on what to look for,thier date thier erro or those who are priced as premiun especially in USA for I am base here in europe even if I like to have one, it is near to imposible. like the DDO or DDR Thank you.can you also make a list of error coin that are intercept by the clever one in the mint so the other reader may know if they find one is one of rarity, for the process of making one and getting in circulation is so remote because of strict policy of the mint and the US goverment.

I guess that must be 2.50 pounds worth,
