Greetings! Some exciting times in Manx coinage...in addition to the crowns and pounds with the added DMIHE and the DMIHEN that can be found added to pound coins is the 1 and 5 pounds coin with IIHE added. Additionally, we knew that a CB die letter was available on a Tynwald millenium crown. However there has been very little noise over the years about this coin. No one took it seriously. But a conversation with a Manx collector changed things. A fire got lit, and the die letters CA and CE have been discovered. Great news for cherry pickers and Manx collectors! And for you purists, the Tynwald crowns were a circulation issue with a combined mintage of 500,000 to back up that claim. Look away and see what you find!
