Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 4:12 pm Those are lovely. Thanks for sharing. I often wonder where my old coins have been, who handled them, etc. Here you have a medal that literally went through the war. I think that makes it even more special to know the history of that particular piece. Report this Post to the Staff
teecee New Member United Kingdom 37 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 4:42 pm This medal was found by my uncle before I was born, given to my mother I have never seen it in my life until 7 weeks ago. I'm 45 now and the research on this led to a deeper interest in coins too, half dozen 18th century halfpennies a 17th century crown and farthing and counting and of course those medals.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 7:51 pm I love that the coin was found by your uncle. How did he come to find it? It's great that it sparked an interest in the hobby. I always kept old coins -- ever since I was a little girl -- but I never learned much about them until a few years ago. (I'm 60 now.) But like you, I got more interested after my husband and I inherited a handful of old coins. Report this Post to the Staff
teecee New Member United Kingdom 37 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 8:00 pm it was found quite by chance spotted in the dirt on the building site he was on redeveloping the area in the early 60s. Never laid eyes on it until 7 weeks ago I'm 45 now. heres some better pics of 1964 restrike after a 1 minute finger tip wash. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 8:06 pm Excellent! The reverse design is a piece of art for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
teecee New Member United Kingdom 37 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 8:14 pm yes it came up much better than I hoped like the day it was struck came in an original box too from 1897 even though it is a restrike so that was pretty cool. I really like this piece dont know who designed this piece but theirs a guy on site who collects victorian medals he should know. Report this Post to the Staff
