Now admittedly i quite like the look of most enamelled coins so perhaps i'm biased here. Also enamelling usually effects the Jubilee head coinage or George III Late milled coins more than anything else. Usually there's many of those available and thus it doesn't really both me that that's another coin ruined. (Yes enamelling ruins coin, but in such a nice way).

But this... (now as much as i like it enamelled, it kind of breaks my heart because it looks as if it was a rather high grade coin, and it's not your usual Geo III or Vicky coin either...) :huh:

I feel a little better because it was probably done at the time. Or at least made into a brooch at the time, so could never have been saved!

Phew... there's me thinking someone had gone and ruined a perfectly collectable coin during the Victorian period, there's nothing like Victorians for ruining things!
