My ship came in

Personally, I don't think that it would be one of THESE coins.

This is an "Ich Dien" two pence piece, and there aren't too many of those around, to say the least. The usual two pence has "Ich Bien" written on it, which in Franco German, means "I am Well".
"Ich Dien" is the Prince's personal motto, meaning "I serve".

The Ich Dien was made in the Prince of Wales Mint, (actually in Wales) and only made for a very short time, and in very small numbers.

They were sold through mail order, and I purchased two for a total price of £29.99, if I remember correctly, about three or four years ago.

Nowadays, they would be worth about £40 or so? Who knows?

That thing is worth absolutely nothing. Gustav is milking
the goodhearted and gullable ones of a2k, to see what he can get out of them.

Shame on you gustav! So shortly before christmas and
such a grinch like scam.

Who knew Elpus was a numismatist?

I reckon it's a test replacement for the Disney Dollar.Every 2 pence piece i've had over the past ....years reads the same.Melt some plastic,add the coin and use it as a paper-weight.

Elpus is, what we call a "Tausendsassa"

Not only am I a numismatist, I am also a philatelist.

My father once said to me "Son, you can collect all sorts of junk and not achieve a thing, but Philately will get you everywhere"

Not with THIS little white Wabbit it won't!


You naughty man!

I know two men. One likes to shut himself in a room, sort stamps, and categorize them in booklets.

The other likes to do that with women's underwear.

I'm still working on which of these activities is more disturbing.
