    I don't think Scott specializes in coins costing over £10 if you know what I mean

    my grandads were inscribed on the edge , or just the silver one was he was an ord tommy in the royal marines - not sure if he had to pay extra for that. By the way ist WW medals were superbly struck though it is rare to see one these days that has not been well cleaned. English WWW1 medals are often called Pip squeak and Wilfred , after a popular cartoon in a national newspaper I think

    Yep like medals and the like. There were so many medals given out in the first world war that for the first time they were not awarded at ceremonies but posted out in the post at the time - this did not go down well with the ordinary privates (who to be fair put their lives at risk every day , just like the rest). Many even threw them in the bin in disgust.

    This whole sorry tale leads me to the conclusion that the whole company is inept and should not exist with it's attitude to customers . BREATHTAKINGLY USELESS

    "You must pay final value fees " is wrong as well you can always ignore them and get banned from using ebay again , well in that name anyway

    Well yes, the designer of these coins thought more about the quality of the design than the practicalities of making the darn things , best left to other folks in the know they thought, i'm sure of that

    I would expect Scott has all these now - he is a regular in rummage boxes. There is always the pier at Southport by the way

    Maybe they were deported to Siberia because they would not stoke up the german ovens , if you know what i mean

    There are literally millions of forgeries issued into circulation in George the thirds reign , it was considered a very serious offense to pass them on in this reign that saw off napoleon and the french revolution . If they had taken over from the circulating coin it would have had a very serious effect on the economy
  25. copper123
    I think if I remember rightly George IV was about 35 stone and could not move from his bed for the last few months of his life - prob not pretty sight so I agree the portrait is flattering on the crown. By the was back to the original discussion, nothing apart from maybe a gold Gothic crown comes near the una and the lion
