Just when you thought this is a nice collectors item you reach the last page and Lamebird is on there. WTF has he to do with a coin celebrating Queen?????? Horrid!!!
And how do you get the coin out of the box without destroying it?!?!
Did not find a way yet
Has anybody ordered it? In the poster the QUeen logo from the Flash and Headlong singles are badly cut out (only half to see). Is that the case for every poster or did I get a faulty one. Or is this the usual quality control in the Queen camp. Looks totally bad.
AL is certainly not part of recorded history but we can’t write him out completely either. Nothing has been added musically. He has played his way in through consistent touring, reliving and replaying Queen’s history.
Which coin do you have? I have the 1 pound silver one, to get it out you twist the top square plexiglass (looks like it is secured by screws but it’s just magnetic.). Then the coin comes out by pushing it through the hole beneath. Then there is a notch in that round plastic holder to open it and get the coin out. I haven’t tried it on mine because I want to keep it secured but I’m sure I can pull the top off and get the coin out by itself. Does that help?

If you have a silver coin you should always keep it in the plastic holder. Silver gets a black patina, when you store it outside of it and/or touch it. Also, keep it away from sunlight.
It doesn't matter which temporary figure appears on the coins as long as the subliminal reverse is always the same - a bust of the high priest Brianus Maximus - laureate (in astrophysics), draped (in false humility), and cuirassed (against fans requests).
