COIN SHOP VISITS - QUEEN'S BEAST - RED DRAGON OF WALES
Today's Coin Shop Visit yeilded THE RED DRAGON.
The Red Dragon of Wales on the reverse is A BAD-ASS BEAST. The obverse contains the Queen.
"Have you seen the Queen's Beasts?"
As I told the shop keeper that I need to bring in some of the coins that I have been getting lately. I told him that they have great designs, even though they have a higher premium.
The shop keeper mentions, "Have you seen the Queen's Beasts?"
Holy Crap - I got excited.
He led me to the display case with World Silver Coins. I usually pass on these because they are generally over-priced in his shop. The case contains Pandas and Maple Leafs and Britannias. I rarely get a coin from this display case. I usually only get one annual coin from each country.
I have been SECRETLY LONGING for the QUEEN'S BEASTS. I have seen these coins posted from some folks in the U.K.
- THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL
- THEY ARE SOME OF THE BADDEST DESIGNS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.
So, I did not need to be convinced, I simply stated, "I'll Take IT"
On the Obverse, we see Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the face value of 5 pounds..
On the Reverse, we see the Red Dragon of Wales, which is clutching a shield with its claws.
During the Year of the Dragon, I did not acquired a Dragon coin or bar. I have seen some posted, but I have not had the opportunity to get one. My favorite color is RED, so the RED DRAGON OF WALES is perfect for me.
After Red, my favorite colors are Black / Gold / Silver. Well, my favorite animal is a BULL. Thus, my next Queen's Beast has to be the BLACK BULL OF CLARENCE.
I'll likely get hooked on the series. . .
