Rob Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Does anyone have a copy of BHM handy to reference this Preston Guild 1882 medal? I've looked high and low but can't find an example of this die pair on the web. It's late as it names the Duke of Cambridge, who replaced the Duke of Atholl. The park view is also one of the rarer reverses. Struck in tin and the weight is 26.97g (including ring). All help gratefully received. Quote
Colin G. Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Took you a long while to Photograph that Reverse Quote
Rob Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 I thought it was added, but obviously not. Quote
Rob Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 Anyone with a medal reference? Ta. Quote
Chingford Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Have you tried contacting the Preston Guild, it is still on going. http://www.preston.gov.uk/yourservices/events/preston-guild/guild-history/ Quote
Rob Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 Hadn't thought of that. Thanks. I googled images and found one site with over 300 images of PG related material, but this medal die combination wasn't one of them. Quote
Chingford Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I found several but none were like your medal reverse, reading through it seems to suggest local traders produced the commemorative medals for volunteers at the pageant, some are much rarer than others but I should think they would have records or maybe even an interest in the medal Quote
Rob Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 I know some are decidedly rare, because a dealer I thought might know about them said he listed one on ebay after it had been sat in his tray at £20 for a while with no takers - it made over £200 from genuine bidders Quote
