Quote: This last one has absolutely the worst images of Charles & Di I've seen on a coin. I can't see any resemblance at all. Di has bee stung lips and chin, Chuck has a roman nose, way too much hair and his ears are too small. For reasons unknown, someone local opened an All-American diner named Chuck and Di's. Wasn't long before ppl called it Upchuck and Dies.

Now that the images are back, I may put up some more of my pretty 'birdie' coins.
I'll have to do some work on them first as I now have 639 listed with a few more to add.

WOW - Twitching meets coin collecting.  Great selection Nancy. It was fun looking at your pics so thanks for uploading.  I do have a soft spot for the UK Farthing and also any coins with penguins. In general I prefer coins with animals on them. Do you have the colombian 200 Pesos Coin (2012-2018)? If not I'll see if I have a spare. Can you maybe send a list of what you have? Am sorting bulk coins quite often so would be happy to keep aside bird coins for you.
