<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3032173, member: 22729&quot;]Thanks for weighing in on the GC coin, Tom.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not aware of an IRA brigade in South Antrim either. One of the men I spoke to in Belfast told me, as you have, that South Antrim was strongly Loyalist, so he felt it might be a UVF / UDA issue even though it&#039;s on a UK coin. That may not be as unusual as it seems. I&#039;ve been compiling a census of these political pieces for the past 7 or 8 years, and have documented a bit over 1,000 coins so far...400 are in my personal collection. Surprisingly, nearly 10% of all Loyalist stamps are struck on UK coins. When I first started, I wouldn&#039;t have thought that was the case either.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen the attached paper, but thank you for referring it to me. The ANS has a small collection of these politicals, which I&#039;ve added to my census. They were kind enough to send me an inventory several years ago. If you&#039;re aware of any person or organization who has a collection of these, I&#039;d be interested in contacting them. I&#039;m trying to make my census as comprehensive as possible. Thanks, Tom.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
