Ed_Haynes Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Interesting. These novelty non-coins are often over-the-top curiosities. This one is no exception.

Not sure if it was gold or not, but the one I heard about is very rare to find it with the poppy still on it, something to do with what was used, to make the poppy, just falls off, I assume it wasn`t designed for general use. Is the one you refer to gold?Gordon.
