NGC MS65 RB
Raindrop Race Wager
A bet on two raindrops on a window pane that was made 123 years ago has now netted the family of the winner almost £65,000. The wager was made between an aristocrat and his friend during a rainy day at a Dorset stately home in 1890. The two men bet £5 on which one of two drops would reach the bottom of the window first. Bitter at losing, the disgruntled friend marched straight to the bank to withdraw the money owed in the lowest denomination possible at the time - 4,800 farthings.
