Sovereign Rarities sold one in their last auction, and though describing it in the title as a silver pattern broad, went on to say that according to research from 1995 it it is now thought to be a medal.

Yes I'd say so - but what denomination size is it?

It's a restoration broad (20 shillings) by Thomas Simon

Patterns are not something I usually go for, but got to have at least 1 example, right?

A recent acquisition, the eye has it (Rob taught me that!) 

[Spink Hoover Crown Sale]

There is ever increasing evidence imo that due to hype, blind acceptance of TPG grades, record prices being realised, and laziness, greed has become a big factor in our hobby

That's a good obverse!

I don't have anything on it at the moment, but I'm currently ploughing through catalogues to image a lot of assigned provenance coins.

Thanks Rob, do let me know if you find anything!
