Johnsderry Valued Member Ireland 374 Posts	Posted 04/30/2013 5:47 pm Here is an Irish coin which was marked "vanguard " which I think was a group during the 70s in northern Ireland during the northern Ireland conflict who were a (protestant )unionist organization? This is an interesting coin and would be very hard to value but please comment! Thanks! John Report this Post to the Staff

Unfortunately, seems difficult to even get a numismatic discussion going about these defaced and countermarked coins of the Troubles, without some of the old antagonism raising its head again... http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/in...topic=1461.0 Report this Post to the Staff

I have an Irish 10p with Orangemen propaganda engraved onto it; the engraving was run over with black marker pen to make it stand out more. I offered it for sale at my local coin club for a dollar. There weren't any takers. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
