Well, what a crazy day!
Just spoken to CGB and it seems that they are indeed original, and were proofs/ideas submitted by Michaud in the hope of winning the commission for the coin! Which he did 👍
Super rare apparently, and worth about £3000!!
I'm completely gobsmacked!
🤪🤪🤪
Haha, you know it! There are about 1000 old pennies to look through, loads of tokens, and a load of 1790- coins as well. Going to be busy every night after work! 😁😁
Hi Mather.
I thought £200 was a bit steep maybe but £450
Good luck.

Haha, thanks. I'm just sorting through a load of coins that my wife inherited, and coins are a new thing to me, so the whole day has been very interesting! I've got loads of cool finds to investigate, including a Restoration of Ferdinand IV medal !
