Guest gl0hot Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I have a large selection of royal mint limited edition commemorative coins of the queens silver jubillee this includes many commenwealth coins they are all still boxed and in minnt condition how much are they worth?Thanks,Matt Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 We'd need descriptions or pictures to actually know what they are. However, if they're proof, they will fetch quite a good sum but if they are just in a folder, loose etc. they will be worth next to nothing Quote
Geoff T Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Are you sure these are coins? The only things of real value are the official award medals and the official commemorative medal issued by the Royal Mint. The latter were made in gilded bronze, silver and platinum and were sold in presentation cases. They're piedfort, about 50cm across and have an obverse with the queen enthroned, based on the Elizabeth I sovereign.G Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 This sounds like an unofficial set of 10 coins from 10 commonwealth countries all dated 1977. If so, it's nothing special, but I won't speculate until we get some decent details! Quote

It took me a while to work out what your post meant! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Now don't be too hard on the poster William, that's actually quite nicely written compared to some of the emails I get from the brain dead morons, in 'What's it worth' land. Quote
william Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 And who are they?! And where is 'What's it worth' land?! Quote
Sylvester Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 And who are they?! And where is 'What's it worth' land?! don't ask, Chris might just take you there... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 One wonders if they [gl0hot] will ever return to see what's happened. Not many people do, they just post and forget but this guy has registered so there's a chance Quote
Geoff T Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 One wonders if they...will ever return to see what's happened. If they don't, can you blame them when all they're met with is a a pile of off-topic criticism? Poor English drives me mad too - I'm the editor of a professional journal with a reputation for being a spelling/punctuation/grammar guerilla - but sometimes discretion is the better part of answering enquiries.(Dear me, I sound like a right oldie!)G Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Poor English drives me mad too...(Dear me, I sound like a right oldie!)Oh no, I wholly agree! Some grammar and spelling on here is quite atrocious! Quote
Sylvester Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Oh no, I wholly agree! Some grammar and spelling on here is quite atrocious! My spelling and grammar is pretty bad, thus why i don't criticise other people, because when i do i always make a really stupid mistake myself.Also bear in mind that not everyone who posts on online forums has English as their first language.

william Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Granted, though some Briton's is terrible.Do you mean Britains? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Do you mean Britains?No, a Briton is a citizen of Britain, just as an American is a citizen of America, Frenchman is a citizen of France, Azerbaijani is a citizen of Azerbaijan. Quote

I keep wanting to say a Britain as well, i don't like the term Briton it cujours up images of a bunch of Boudicans running around in toga like things. (you know what i mean)Then there's Canadian and Canada, surely Canadia would have been better! Quote
william Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Yeah, but everyone knows what the British language can be like! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Yeah, but everyone knows what the British language can be like!Tis a melting pot of many different languages Quote
william Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Tis a melting pot of many different languagesToo many as far as i'm concerned! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Too many as far as i'm concerned!Pfff! You need to change that attitude right away! Quote
