Tonight, I bring to you a 1945 Two Shilling coin that I picked up on my last trip to the new Antique store that I recently found.

The reverse of the coin: A crowned Tudor Rose, flanked by the thistle and shamrock
Year: 1945
Value: 2 Shillings
Currency: Pound Sterling
Silver: .500
Weight: 11.31 grams
Diameter: 28.5mm
Thickness: 2.1mm

This piece is in very good condition, at £5.00, it works out about 15% ish over the spot value of silver. But either way, it's not a bad price, I felt, considering its condition.

I was also getting a bit giddy buying other pieces, so I didn't really take it all into account.
But overall, across all the purchases, I actually paid under spot price for the combined lot, which is amazing value and a win for me.
