It was love at first sight!

Howdy, friends!

I went to a local coin show yesterday and bought a few common items. I was
about to leave, but then decided to make "one last round" before heading for
the door. I'm sure glad that I did. I don't really collect foreign coins,
though I have a few of them from here and there. At one of the tables, my
eye fell on a coin that I had never before seen the likes of, and when the
gentleman told me what he wanted for it and said "Deal, or no deal?", I said
"Deal!" It is a 1976 U.S. Bicentennial 20 Crowns coin from the Turks and
Caicos Islands. I wish you could see the toning "in hand", as it is really
stunning! An added bonus is that it bears the edge inscription "Redeemable
at Turks and Caicos for U.S. Currency." Have a peek and see whatcha think
of my new acquisition.

Congrats on discovering that coin. Looks like the toning would be
`interesting' to the eye.

Here's my one:

Ironic that they would celebrate our rejection of the monarchy with
"crowns". 8-)

I gave the dealer a twenty, and he handed me back a five.

You did done good! IIRC these were selling for $20 when released 30
years ago and
it has over an ounce of silver in it. Double melt price aint bad on a
BU crown size coin.
