Victoria Diamond Jubilee Medal

Ok it's not a coin, but it is British. A work colleague has been clearing out an aunt's house and came across a bag of these medals, about 40 of them in all and all in uncirculated condition. I say uncirculated although I assume that's not really the correct term, I did find a copy on the web that was very worn. I know the victorians turned out medals quicker than the Isle of Man but does anyone know anything about these and are they likely to have any value?

i know they are pretty common, i picked mine up for about £2. so expect about the same, but tbh, they very nice on the eye

What has always puzzled me is why the Mint didn't make anything of the diamond jubilee - after all they did the golden in 1887, but not a peep for the diamond.

I have three of these - two 1897 for the Jubilee, and an 1896 which appears to be a advertising token for Remington Typewriters

I think both types are common, the 1897 the commoner one (apologies for poor scans)
