Upset they didn't accept his offer of $20.

The lighting kinda makes it look that way, but peek a bit closer.

Page down and there is a piece on the Peter Rabbit coins. I did not know they were worth anything. I think I have 2 of them.

Say all you want about the Kardashians (and I encourage you to do so) but

Collectors are particularly interested in the design because the king broke with tradition and opted for his left profile to be minted, rather than the right.

that is the same level of weirdness that people devote to the K-clan.
