Missed that. My guess is a 1950 UK 1 Penny, mintage of 240000. Where did that bus come from......  "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

do the bracket dates count Whenever you see a year in brackets it means that is the year it was issued but not the date on the coin. The date of many Spanish coins are fixed and the last 2 digits of the year it was issued appears in a tiny star. In this case the coin is dated 1949 and the number in the star is "50" meaning it was issued in 1950. |

"Until very recently numismatists have always thought that all the 1950 pennies were shipped to Bermuda. Now we know they were also sent to the Bahamas in the West Indies"

Maybe we can guess which coin you'll use for the coin toss. I'll tell you that one....2012 Grey Cup loonie this season. Having a real coin means all the captains are familiar with the coin. You should see what some other Refs use. Makes me cringe every time. Great big ceremonial bling, gotta explain to the captains which side is heads or tails, ridiculous. I'll give it to another old hand, his says "heads" on one side, "tails" on the other. KISS motto. Still bling. It's not a show off your garbage toss, it's a COIN toss. This is a pet peeve of mine, so excuse the rant.  Quote:If looine is supplying the coin. It will be Heads on both sides keith, I may bend the rules here, but gotta play it straight up on the field. This round should be fun....no hints yet....game on....time in.....(whistle blows).....I have a coin. I'll save Bella's breakfast for later.
