  1. Yeah but if it's their mistake, which can happen (click link at the bottom of my post for a £10 note that should never have made it into circulation), then why should they take it back, it doesn't neccessarilly mean it was stolen, just that it got put into the wrong pile at the Federal Bureau and distributed out in error. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MISPRINTED-1993-BANK...VQQcmdZViewItem
  2. I never quite understand American currency when it comes to collecting rarer notes & coins. I believe that also owning a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin of a certain year is also illegal and (as with this $100,000 note) will be confiscated (sp) if the federal reserve knows you have one Why though? It's their own error if they managed to get into circulation. When the Bank Of England was designing Edward VIII coins a few threepence brass pieces got into circulation & rather than them being illegal & confiscated (sp) they usually go up for auction at very high prices. In some cases if it is a rare one (such as a 1933 one penny, although you are highly unlikely to ever see one of those anywhere) the Bank Of England has been known to take an interest in them & even offer if they're rare and not in their museum, usually if it is roman coinage or coinage of say Henry VIII The Bank Of England never seems to deem them illegal, even banknotes with printing errors although they do advise that they should be sent back if only to stop arguments with shop keepers
  3. I think the most common of Edward VIII's coins (and even that is extremly rare) is the uniquely designed Brass threepence which was diffrent to the final version & a "small number" got into circulation
  4. There was also a Edward VIII version that was either never issued or was extremly rare. I have an image of it in my Spink book, Once I get a scanner I will scan the image & post it on here unless the image already exists somewhere online? EDIT: found this link : http://www.silver6pence.com/acatalog/Histo...dward_VIII.html However they don't come cheap & in actual fact this wasn't the original design it was six rings that where joined together
