In Memory Of The Good Old Days 1797
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right group for my request but I'm
looking for some more information on a coin I have had in my collection for some years now. Written on one side is IN MEMORY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS 1797. I've googled this up and found some information, but what I really want to find out if this really is from 1797 or is a replica. Pictures are here http://www.flickr.com/photos/ozguy89/738957783/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ozguy89/738957791/ |

James I have a copy (Quarterman(?) reprint) of Dalton and Hammer, and I had a copy of Speer (which got waterlogged in some basement flooding and I've never been able to replace). I have about ten or twelve very high grade Kempsons Middlesex buildings, plus a nice large brown penny for "The Monument" and two very nice Issac Newton half pennies (not quite in the same league as my Kempsons). Plus I have a crappy Wilkinson or two or three, and a crappy Lady Godiva. I might have a Prince of Wales, but I can't seem to put my finger on it (well, at least I know where my very high grade 1826 George IV penny is). I definitely have a very high grade 1811 Birmingham Workhouse Thruppence as well, but again, I can't quite put my finger on it. The Kempsons were purchased over 15 years ago. My last was the second Issac Newton maybe two or three years ago. Actually, I want to produce an "American Tribute to the Great Cham" art medal (something between 38MM to 50MM) for the tercentenary of Doctor Johnson's birth in 2009, and I need this piece at home as a "goad" and example to push the project along. Jim Raye was a nice guy & an example of why you shouldn't put off anything in this world if you really want to do it (I don't mean that negatively, I mean that the length of one's life is uncertain). oly |

James- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yes, that's it. I had a nice copy but it got mucked up badly in a basement flooding. I also have the little brown hardcover book on Conders that Whitman or somebody put out about 1985-1990. [Shamelessly name dropping now, attack me RCC denizens] Have you ever seen Ken Bresset's Conders? I've seen some of them, and they are great. I don't think he has one dollar apiece in them, and they are just fantastic. But this purchase is all about wanting to produce an art medal for Dr. Johnson. oly |
