MORE ON THE DEAD MAN's PENNY

Charles Riley writes: "Regarding your item on the 'Dead Man's Penny',
these are generally known as Death Plaques here in the UK (or
colloquially as Dead Man's Pennies). In the early 1990s these were
worth £10 to £15, but are now worth £40 to £50. I have one marked
Charles Riley: my wife finds this rather ghoulish.  It was offered
to me by Phil Mussel. Phil is a director of a numismatic magazine
company (Token Publishing) responsible for magazines called 'Coin
News' and 'Medal News'."
