    As one of the 'young' (at 75 ) I must say that, in general, the current idea of "modern" appears to be an excuse for palid imitations of works of art in all fields. You can be modern, but please, make it something to make people stop and say "what a wonderful thing", not "what a load of junk", (vis the response to the continued garbage from the Turner prize.

    I'll alter my catalogue to read 2002 then!!

    I note that the Collectors Coins GB 2005 gives the issue of the Queen Mother's Memorial as 2003. Spinks gives 2002 to coincide with the engraved date. Is this a typing error or correct? I didn't aquire my coin until late 2003 so am unsure.

    I agree. Glad I didn't win it!

    How would you grade this one? It looks at first as if someone has made it out of solder!! Link

    I'd love to go, but from the wilds of Cumbria, I'd need a good team of huskys! Oh! to be nearer the action!

    Once more...? May as well add this!

    Sorry, That last post was me! I forgot to log in - I'm at a remote location,

    Must be a token of some sort. They didn't date coins then!

    I've just recieved my copy of the Collectors Coins GB 2005! Would you believe - from Smiths!! It took long enough. Maybe other books will be stocked a bit quicker now!?!

    WARNING! Hammered coins are addictive! And there is no known cure.
  13. Geordie582
    Nice coin! You're making me start to look on e-bay again, with hope!
  14. Geordie582
    I look forward to it. Smiths, do you think???
  15. Geordie582
    Any forecast for publication yet, Chris? My money is burning a hole in my pocket!!
  16. Geordie582
    Power to the people???

    I guess it must be a token of some sort. Seaby's "Coins of Scotland, Ireland and the Islands" shows all the Georges used 'Georgius' or 'Georgivs' and there were no harps on George I st's copper! (except as being played by Hibernia!!)

    The Concorde Coin is still being sold, in a presentation pack, by the Royal Mint for £9.95. Check out their website. Royal Mint..

    You'll notice that the scales are not true size. I add this 'nummi or minimmi' as showing that to represent it true size would make reproduction difficult, at less than 10mm.
  20. Geordie582
    Surely the point is that, no matter what they choose for the coin, it seems "to be Modern" is to lack the attention to detail an pure workmanship of the Wyon model. I keep saying, come back Marie Theresa dollar, all is forgiven!
  21. Geordie582
    The best example of scale I have come across is this oneScale Used Hope this helps!
  22. Geordie582
    Another point to this advert. It says "Made out of silver and hand made..." By the seller perhaps???
  23. Geordie582
    A focussed camera may improve the grade
  24. Geordie582
    It's not the first, nor will it be the last, time a coin is offered at a ridiculously low price with enough postage to send it to the moon! What a scam.
  25. Geordie582
    Nice face though!!
