invisobill New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/24/2011 11:44 pm Has anyone ever seen this before? I posted a picture of the case too but all I know is that the sceptre is the Sceptre with the Crown and that the box also says Royal Mint on it. It's also very hard to get a good picture of because it is so reflective. I know that its not currency but I was just wondering if anyone could ID it. Thanks so much Report this Post to the Staff

And also on the edge of the coin it says "Mary Francis Lindsley" I have tried searching that name but nothing comes up Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 02/25/2011 12:16 am Googling the exact phrase "International Institute of Community Service" comes up only with CVs of three people claiming this honour for themselves. With a name like that, I strongly suspect it's one of those "mail-order honours" that was fashionable a few decades ago - send them money and they'll send you a medal with your name on it. You say it's from the " Royal Mint". Frankly, it looks too cheap 'n' nasty for a Royal Mint (Great Britain) medal. Can we see a pic of the actual name as it appears in the box? 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

I want a medal with my name on it! lol Which reminds me, do they still have those stamper good luck token machines around? Report this Post to the Staff
SPQR Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 12:55 pm Well, there's a Mary F. Lindsley who was some kind of poet back in the 60's and 70's...Maybe somebody awarded this to her? How'd you come by it? Report this Post to the Staff
