Very nice Ken.
I saw on TV the other day, that they had created about 880,000 ceramic poppies and will be selling them off to raise money as well.

I have not heard about that.

I bought a poppy pin from them a few years ago that I wear during the poppy appeal time period leading up to the 11th of Nov.

The coin is a not for circulation issue coin.  So it should be UNC.
