U.S. COLONIAL COIN FOUND IN BRITAIN

  Gar Travis sent an Associated Press article dated October
  8th about an "exceptionally rare American coin found in
  Britain."

  "The rare New England silver sixpence turned up when
  relatives of a deceased British man were rummaging through
  his belongings. They sent it to an expert for identification.

  ''It just came through the post in an unregistered envelope
  but when I opened it I recognized the sixpence straight away
  and my heart leapt. It is exceedingly rare and a very exciting
  find,'' said Rick Coleman, the senior valuer at Bonhams
  auctioneers."
