Yes. definitely Fidei Defensor: Defender of the Faith. Fidelis defensor would be Faithful Defender. G Is this Inscription was inscripted in a coin or a coin commemerating the UNION of Scotland and England that its meaning is not only for trade or economy or politics and power but more deeper meaning that was very beneficial to both nations and still applicable in this days,That should not be forgoten and remembered most of the times and can someone post a picture of that coin and the new coin that they will going to release a 2 pound coin commomerating that historic event that they inscription may last till end of our time.

Thank you scott. What do you mean by continental treat I watched the news that GB is merging with Frace what is the story in 1950's that they are planning now. About EU even Russia is already a strong country I think it is also included in the list to join EU if Im not mistaken and if Russia join this will put him in strong position against other nation it is not EU for me it is EURASIA.

Only variety in ireland I know is chickless 1942 and 1968 and a mule of 1961. Those someone know any book? Seen some coins slightly rotated a minor error Seen some coin like a mechanical doubling but dont know if thier is a double die exist in ireland coin before it became Euro.

Just thingking that EU is expanding and dont know where it will stop most probaly in border in russia that other route may be taken that the link is GB and its CN well that is the question to both countries but I think it is more better than taking a route to middle east for now.for me that there is a war on trade or economy.between russia,america,EU and Asia For me I see EU is a union of country for trading,but without the particpation of Canada and Australia the next inline will be middle east and thier is much more heavier problem, for turkey is already exceed the boundary of Europe for it has a part of minor Asia if Turkey join in the future. just thinking if this shortcut may apply and beneficial.

Chris is right they have thier independece and thier currency is not same a GB but they are not a republic and still member of CN. In the past the union of scotland from england stengthen the GB both trade and political that is beneficial, is this process can be applied to CANADA AND AUSTRALIA and othe countries have the reverse of queens image.to also stengthen the position of GB when it join the EU for it will became larger,and no tariff is already in place in CN members and for me may soon affect the trade of GB from CN member.for the GB stock is somewhat bought by EU company and the US. And if it will push through other countries like Japan,China,and India will join for Australia is near to them that this scenario expand the trade of EU that Russia may join not they dont want to but they have because of the size that EU will accumulate, and for me the one that I observe the bigger the country in EU the better is your position.and all be in one coin and even surpass all the empire and conqueror in terms of number of people in size of the Union and trade.

Thanks scott I didnt know you have a site What is the name.? any other site or dealer have a link or banner of this forum.

Chris in the past mentioned that he will invite others into this forum on one of organization that he will attend I do post this forum on other site and other forum on other. And members and guest hop in one forum to another. any additional info like publishing some tread on the web or flood the web of predecimal info.

Seems more complicated after reading the CN on wikpedia. The queens face in the coin is symbolic but other recognized her as a head of state, that is interesting.

Yeah seen some topic about that guyana in some site. The way I interpret the face of the queen in the obverse of the commonwealth countries is that thier is a reason why the queens face is there,For me it is more like a EU currency which they have same national side in case of GB or commonwealth they have same obverse,for me it is more on a trade arrangement on all commowealth countries,but the image also represent power and the image of the queen is inscribe in the coin,that will have an effect if GB have trade agrement on its commonwealth if GB plans joining the EU currency for EU will regulate other things. Dont know if they have a agrement,arrangement,treaty, or law regarding this commonwealth countries,heard in the news in the past that there is a royal visit in Australia and the side talk was their independece or something like that. Just thinking if GB join all commonwealth countries also join or the commonwealth countries will have entirely different currency,for if they are independent they can choose the obverse and put other images not the queen images.the question is why they didnt choose other image now, is there a story on queens image on all commonwealth country that will affect if GB join EU currency.

Hypothetical if GB join the EU currency is Canada and Australia and other commowealth countries are included to EU currency?

Yes you are right again CHRIS I misunderstood and lost about the post of TOM. The question was the grade of the dealer against the grade of CGS. Im Imagining things again that all those expert names are in collaboration with the CGS. Thank you for the correction.

Loads of expert name in your post TOM are they all direct or indirect part of CGS? If they are part of the company who will take the hot seat first. They can used the line of dickinson 20 years of experience who will question that. Well who will police just an idea BNTA.

Yap they all should be recorded not only coins and artifacts but also other metals detected to resolved other mystries.

Maybe they can post upto 500 post then to be studied and give the price on every querry they like.

Picture please

Well CGS have to learn from US company that it will not happen to them. One way is to take the pulse of the collector on other name services they will going to offer to hear or know diff. opinion and advice on different medium.

OK CHRIS and sorry. For sure you will include new variety in british coins in your books from CGS for a portion of coins will go there for verification and authentication,if they have a new find.If the company will last they will accumulate a portion of coins in high grade and wide variety in every denomination,lucky for those who work there they will have wide info on british coins and saw the actual coin. To other readers inquire here first to british expert and its free. scott. I have no info on what happen to US kindly explain it to me more.

I will just email them everyday until they will have a representative in this forum. If they dont sure others will watch thier company. For now one name is familiar alex anderson other staff are unknown including thier credentials.

Emailed CGS UK hope they will reply to this forum especially to thier own coutrymen and fellow expert.

THANKS TOM FOR THE CORRECTION. So thier company seems credible NO FAKE COIN SLAB YET.

Ive sent an email to london coins several days ago no reply, most of the email is to have a representative on other medium simply cannot find the CGS site ,encluding forum like this. Still no staff of CGS forwarding in this forum. I think they have responsed on other site, seen some responsed on ebay discussion,good start they reason in some site. No list of other staff though, so others can ask question on them especially to co-equal if not other british expert in this forum can surpass them. If tom coin is a fake and slab, there will be a loads of question to be answered in this early stage of thier company. At this early stage they dont reached to this forum I think,hope they will have sense when thier company last, or became stable or an institution,not reaching to the other medium only in times they neede help then they will reached out.

Good for them any members of CGS in this forum or staff of CGS.
