nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 05/31/2008 5:00 pm I had high hopes of these two but the problem with buying coins from outside the USA is that every now and again customs will "inspect" the package and for some reason a visual inspection is never enough someone has to remove the coins from their holders and handle them. this is the second time this has happened to me. Anyway here they be in all their remaining glory. Report this Post to the Staff

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 05/31/2008 7:50 pm Very nice coins. It's too bad the customs guys had to handle them. I'm assuming that both images are Admiral Nelson? Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 05/31/2008 9:11 pm Yep both are Nelson They can be spent but as the silver content is worth more than face I would not be inclined to do so. 5 Pound coins generally don't circulate very much. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/31/2008 10:03 pm G'day, I guessed that they were silver, from the beautiful surfaces. I was wondering if either was a silver version of some other circulation strike ? For example, the Royal Oz Mint often puts out a silver proof, parallel to a base-metal circulation coin.

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 06/01/2008 07:38 am There was a CU issue but I did not pay much attention to it as my focus is on sliver for Crowns. I think the CU versions were dated 2006 but I have been known to be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/01/2008 7:33 pm "...someone has to remove the coins from their holders and handle them" What in the devil for? I've never had a package from Australia or Canada "inspected" like that. Nice commems of Admiral Nelson. I can only guess the one pertains to his death in battle...I seem to recall a painting that was similar. Edited by KurtS 06/01/2008 7:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Alot of shop assistants would look at you as it you were trying a fast one and have to go check with someone what this big "foreign" looking coin was.
