Geordie582 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I checked in the member's forum but I'll be keeping an eye on this one too. Back from the "excited States of America". (You can tell I don't think too much of the US emmigration service!). Don't you think that coins like 'sede vacante' are really medals? I don't want to start a war, but, although I collect 'commemoratives' on the side, I've always thought of them as such. But then, I prefer circulated coins to the 'pretty' versions!!! Quote

We think much the same. Quote
