Morning everyone.....

I’m trying to stay positive, but hearing the NJ death total for just yesterday at 232 people is hard to hear. New Jersey now is over 1200 deaths from this virus and counting.

So let’s just do #worldcoinwednesday....

The coin is a 1937 Full Crown, it’s a special circulated Coronation coin. But it was put into circulation. There are just over 418,000 of these coins struck.
