Some ebayers are rather rude people  |
I had an old fiver with micky mouse in the foil bit instead of the queen, people were rude about that when I tried to spend it, except the police that is, they seemed rather taken with it and were really quite determined to find more of them

I'm not sure to be honest, I'm sure it's fake with silver spray on it or something as it looks like someone has scratched it and it's showing some copper. Also it sticks to a magnet which I'm sure none fake ones don't.
But I found it clearing out a large plastic bottle of copper I had been building up over the last few years.

Copper and Silver. So why do bank coin bags refer to them as BRONZE and Silver?

Because the banks are wrong. "Copper" coins are 97% copper.

Re: Rare Coins
I have a few that I've collected over the years. I have several of the UK Olympics 50 pences and the D-Day 50p from sometime in the 90's.
I also have the Jemima PuddleDuck 50p and a few other from that series.
