Thanks £400 for a Penny ? Better Portaits available at much less than that! Info from Catalogue 123 – Churchilliana on Lot 30. The Churchill Medals- Gold on Silver . . A set of 4 large medals, solid silver plated with 24 ct gold. Emitted in 1970 by John Pinches Ltd. Medals designed by David Cornell. A total of 854 sets issued in various metals, this being no. 75, and stamped on edges. Each medal 44 mm dia., weighs 42 gms. See Engstrom 88-91. In fitted lined case, with certificate and care instructions. $250.00 <> I would still like info on the cheaper metal type that I have so if anyone is passing by this way and can point out where to find more info then I would be grateful. & Yes Engstrom is referred to but other than knowing it is a surname I know little else about it. £400 to spend a Penny? That could be construde as a little rude But medals designed by a respected artist Are far from tat That’s what I think of that Bite the bit Don’t be down hearted For such a penny Would get the biding started THANKS!

The details I have are as follows: WINSTON CHURCHILL 24K GOLD COINS Special edition American Express boxed set of 4 - 24k gold plated on sterling aluminium numbered 240 - all marked on sides of coins. In original box from John Pinches of London. 4 different images of Churchill with 4 of his well known speeches on back of coins. Bought in an antique shop several years ago. Good condition. I have since found out that they are designed by David Cornell. Please click on the image that I have included here: I ask 24k gold plated on sterling aluminium? If you are going to plate anything with gold then I presume it must be something good & sterling aluminium certainly sounds better than just plain old aluminium but really, is there such a metal? Anyway if anyone out there has any of those details that all collectors like to have then please post them here. Such as date of issue Price at issue And all those other details normally found on a COA I would be grateful for any info received & if anyone happens to have a set and is willing to post some better jpegs then I would be overjoyed as I do not have a macro lens for my camera. Anyway that’s it for now, get ye bucket and (SMASHED INTO A PC BRICK WALL) ye know what I mean & I promise, those Germans will never set foot on the beaches.

PS It might be a good idea to keep this thread for any and all things about Winston Churchill. Where’s the nodding dog? I have little info on the set of medals I seek information on, like many stack um high ebay sellers I purchase from they give very little details. (Forgive me if you are a member, here is the place you did no research)

Hi Just like to say howdy to all the folks, the swing doors worked well, I’m not in the saloon for a smoke but it would be nice to have a little joke with the regulars so get on down to my profile, have a laugh and leave a comment. Just thought, will someone consider jumping on my toes for seeking information on a set of Churchill medals? Who knows? After all they are not coins but like coins! They kind of bend if ye grip them in ye teeth.
