Valued as a phrase

not as what one is.You used this phrase and I thought would you really give a Pretty penny if you had one for a great verse? The pretty penny king henry the third made rather like people never took to it so the next rulers didn't continue it. Considering Australia Does'nt use the penny any more thought it a light phrase that carried the message to me Antique worth what we prize at what cost.To buy a prase with a cliche a preety penny for that verse.last I heard there were only 27 gold King Henry the Third Pennies in the world. What I'de give for one! A stack of Green Backs lol
