Dronmon New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 5:07 pm I need some help here. I bought this on ebay and it was listed as a Small Motto. The seller says a couple of his local dealers told him that is what it is and my local dealer said it is not. We are currently trying to resolve this as amicably as possible and I thought some non-biased nuetral feedback would be helpful. Any opions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 5:52 pm its obvously pretty beat up and hard to tell, but the gap between the banner and the edge leads me to believe its a large motto. Really hard to tell. Wait til others respond on this one Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 6:02 pm I'd have a hard time calling that one a Small Motto. The letters should only fill half the width of the ribbon, and what little one can see of these are clearly too large. Not that it would matter much; in that shape, not even a Small Motto would be worth much of a premium. Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 12:07 pm Welcome, Dronmon, to CCF. Your coin as the others have said is a 'large motto' But, even if it had been a 'small motto' it wouldn't have been worth the price you paid, in that beat up condition, IMO Report this Post to the Staff
