Another 1896 Argentum Universale One Talent Located
Len Augsburger of the Newman Numismatic Portal writes:
You asked about the 1896 One Talent piece in an earlier issue. While photographing the Eclectic Numismatic Treasure collection for the Newman Portal, we ran across such a piece (images
attached).
Thanks! The Eclectic Numismatic Treasure collection will be added to the Portal's new image galleries. I haven't seen the collection yet, but I'm looking
forward to it - I understand it includes quite a number of rare and interesting numismatic items. -Editor

Nordic Bronze Medals
From our Flickr archive, RETRO_STU writes (regarding the medal pictured in last week's Featured Web Site article):
Similar medals were issued in other Nordic countries such as Greenland and Iceland. All these are cast in bronze as numbered limited editions and come in their own presentation box. Many can be
bought for around €35, some for more and some for a bit less. The publisher is usually Nyborg.

On Chocolate Coins
Pete Smith writes:
Bruce Perdue submitted a picture on a one pound Kennedy half in chocolate.
My sister's husband's daughter gave me one of these for Christmas last year. I needed to decide if I would keep it as a collectible or eat it. I chose to eat it.
I have not had a good experience with chocolate coins in the past. I found that they crumble, expand, and blow out of their foil wrappings if not refrigerated.
Eating a pound of chocolate also may present a challenge. After refrigeration, it became very hard and difficult to break into edible pieces. This may be an example of too much of a good
thing.
