I have a coin with KING EDWARD VIII - it is silver - the size of a dollar - the reverse of the 5 cent piece and dated 1936. I know his coins were not official issue, there is no denomination on this coin. Does it have value? It appears to be PL or MS.   02-27-2009, 09:06 PM   #2 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London.

Is it a coin or a medal or what? It is not in any guide I have.   02-28-2009, 06:39 AM   #6 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London. UK Posts: 8,131 My Mood: It is a fantasy piece in other words someones idea of what one of his coins would have looked like if he had indeed remained as king. So no it is not a coin or a medal For all that it is rather nice though __________________ My Notes 1176 to date 02/06/09 http://www.banknotebank.com/?collection=De-Orc My Coins 2168 to date 02/06/09 http://www.omnicoin.com/?collection=De-Orc   03-01-2009, 03:54 PM   #7 (permalink) Aslanmia Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Newfoundland, Canada Posts: 963 That seller is out to lunch... his stuff is waaaay over-priced. When I tried to make him an offer on an item, he counteroffered with his original price minus a buck! EDIT: I forgot to mention that the item I made an offer on has been in his store for months (there was a previous offer placed in September of last year), and my offer was within $4 of his asking price...
