@hazardwarning Good, but next time I want a Great Bittern.
@hazardwarning The pre-decimal sixpences are quite nice. And they have some real silver content, unlike modern coins.

@matigo No not really. These things just tend to retain their value against inflation, unlike the funny money the rulers con us with. Mind you, once you start looking, you do get more interested. Perhaps the fact that I got the American one is a sign that I'm getting more into it because I knew I'd have to pay capital gains tax on any profit with it….whereas the Britannia is C.G.T.-free due to being legal tender.
The Eagle has a dull finish unlike the gleam on most silver coins. I rather like it.
The American silver Eagle coin has such a beautiful design. And I know it looks even better in person because I bought one. The gold Eagle design isn't as pretty for some reason.

@hazardwarning Problem is, you have to walk the dog every day so you can't rest it fully can you? If you were totally laid up the dog wouldn't get any walkies…
