Custom Holders and the power of CU Forum

Garneteye

After reading a recent post about Capital Plastics holders, I thouht I would post a picture of a custom holder that I obtained from one of our members.



Normal slab included for ref.



I was able to obtain both the medal and the holder thru PMs with members of this forum

Beautiful Victoria medal, there. What I can't figure out is the apparent "1$" or "1S" denomination?

Garneteye

It's 1S for shilling. The light does cause a problem.

I thought it might be "1S" for "shilling", but how did a copper medal end up being denominated as a shilling?

Must have reverse pix, BTW...

Garneteye

The shilling is a coin in a NGC holder that I included for size ref.

lordmarcovan

Duhhh.

You mean that SILVER coin in the NGC holder?

Wow, my powers of observation are just amazing tonight, ain't they?

Gorgeous reverse on that medal- and nice custom holder, too.

I dunno why I automatically inserted the medal (mentally) into the slab with the shilling, and not even reading the label on the slab helped cure this strange observation.

That is one pretty holder and medal. Wherever did you get it?

Garneteye

Medal from theboz11 via BST on World & Ancient forum.

Custom holder from trot99

lordmarcovan

Oh. You got it from the Bozman.

Figures.

That's THE pedigree to have in Vickie medals, as far as I'm concerned.

Beautiful!

Yea, he got a better one, so I was able to score on one of his "cast-offs". It is the centerpiece of my 1887 gold & silver Jubilee collection. Several of the coins came from forum member, "Cosmic"
