buzkirk Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Don't usually run across money from the UK here in Tennessee, Mexico and Canada yes, so this was a surprise ! A local retailer took this in as a USD, so it only cost me the USD to replace it. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Nice crisp edges, lot of luster for a 1965, very happy Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 It's a Churchill crown. These were kind of like 1964 JFK half dollars in that almost everyone kept them as souvenirs. Since the crown (5 shillings / 25 [new] pence) isn't even a regular circulating coin, they're almost always encountered in UNC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzkirk Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks ccg As times get harder, more and more of what people were saving tend to end up back in circulation. The local Quickie mart, took in a USD $10 1934A Demand note just last week in very nice shape. (haven't got that one....yet !) So I don't guess there is any silver in the Churchill The Whitman Modern World Coin book only goes up to 1964, so no price or metal content on hand. Any idea of price, not going to sell, just curious if $1 USD was ok . Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 It's gorgeous but it does look like a Franklin half! Great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 No silver in that puppy but it's a nice addition to anyone's collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 For $1 I'd be very happy with that purchase. Even dirty, crusty, nasty ones go for that in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would of been spookier if you hadn't found one. Over 16 million that never went into circulation but straight to the back of a cupboard.
