Well, rest assured I got my solid fair and square. It is in quite good shape as far as circulated finds go, HCJ22 is a very new serial range that is only starting to become common in my finds so it couldn't have travelled far before meeting me. Certainly not mint but much closer to it than most
-Exceptional find Beatrix!
I cannot believe the shape it is in. The one solid I got in change (years ago) was in VG-F. Actually never found one in either brick nor bundle searches. That looks between EF & AU which is phenomenally fortunate in anyone collector's book.
Incidentally, (& I really hate to be a stickler on this) but the RCM
mint coins and the CBN company
prints paper money.
