alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 7:24 pm I'd long wanted one of these, my dad had one in the early sixties, and this one was advertised as a medallion. Without showing the blades, which I doubt the vendor realised existed. And I was the sole bidder. Moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 11:36 pm Very very cool! I have a 1949 coin knife too, but not like that... It's just a folding knife with a loop on the end with a 1949 bird farthing in it.. I like yours more! Hidden blades! I agree.. I want one to come out in a coin I love, even if its a fake coin! Actually here's a pic of my "coin knife", I just happened to have a few on my phone. On the blade it says "Richards Sheffield England, with a lamppost... It's kinda neat.. But again I like yours more! Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 05:46 am The peseta is in fact a replica, nickel coated brass. I won it and a papal medallion for Â£0.99. The Richardson farthing knife was, as I remember, sold as a pipe cleaning tool. Report this Post to the Staff
