Our local PO is the same, one guy manning the office. Though he is religious about his lunch time, which is 12:15 to 12:45 every day.

 

Now I want to know what the guy at the post office had for lunch ….

inquiring minds ….

 

Ok @lordmarcovan I didn't know you would have a big reveal because I was happy to be anonymous as I wrote but I love it, so I can explain stuff as you go along.
This coin was designed by a friend of mine another Welshman named Kevin Ashman, he is a historical author and worked for a short time at the Royal Mint where his son still works. He has authored some good Roman novels and "dark ages" novels and if you ever saw Zulu , the film with Michael Caine, Kevin produces the medals for the South Wales Borderers Museum. There was a great 140th year reunion in 2019 when descendants of some of the Zulu Chiefs and warriors and descendants of soldiers who fought at Rawkes Drift met up in Wales. It was my very sad duty to inform Kev that the pistol brandished in Lt Bromhead's hand in his medal was not a Mauser C96 Broomhandle. Gun historians like me would also know that in the film Michael Caine was holding a Webley Mark VI service revolver a WW1 revolver.
Back to this unique piece I know that this is part of a set of famous and not so famous battles and none have ever made it across the water.
Here is Kev's amazon authors page https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B005F5M0GW

I really appreciate what you do with your giveaways and there are more generous folk than me but I thought I would send you some items to appeal to everyone.
Tell us which ones you think are the ones I sent to you.
Incidentally I did some work on Vault Box numbers and worked out their potential profit, and the potential for getting a great result and decided not to get involved,
Better odds than a Lottery but slim pickings for unlucky people like me.

 

One of the coins I sent you was owned by a prominent American and you have the flip with potentially his handwriting. I'll reveal when you reveal.

 

what he doesn't know is that I got family nearby.. though my Uncle JJ would probably get a good laugh out of this slow reveal and help lordM just to get my goat

 

Ok this came from the collection of the US mathematician and Rhode Island representative Rodney Davies Driver (1932 -2022) from a collection formed 1960’s to 1980’s. Sold at Leu.

 

It hasn’t the value to go into a safety deposit box @lordmarcovan Reason I enclosed it is that he will be the next King and outstanding compared to some of his lowlife relatives. His wife is also humble and a cancer survivor and does a lot of good. I’m no royalist but did meet his mother twice.

 

We're probably distant relatives then. Very distant.

 

I can't claim Mayflower decent, but I can claim decent from from David Shippee listed as a contractor on Roger Williams Charter to found Rhode Island.. so we been around awhile lol
