Me too, how strange. Never had a hint of one before. Surprising how rare they are. I'm assuming they are bronze as opposed to copper, like early pennies etc, cos my one came up at a completely different number to what the 2 cent piece would have given me.



My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.
