I hate to say "I told you so" but...
Fantastic find but most of the "coinies" seem to be scratching their heads as to where they get the million figure from most tend to think it will sell for around the £10K mark, the book price for a fine example is $2500 (£1500) but that "EF" tag will no doubt bump the price up quite a bit ;)
;D

Still, not to be sniffed at.  Nice little Christmas present. ;)

Which reminds me.  Doesn't Pauls' coin go through the Auction today (17th)  Fingers crossed for him.
