A warm welcome to this website, which largely contains commemorative and historical medals marking national occasions, as well as events of a more local or personal nature, together with a few coins and tokens. Items can be returned within ten days of receipt, if not entirely to satisfaction. Postage and insurance are charged at cost, which is scaled back for multiple orders.

The prices are net, but there is no additional Buyer's Premium,' as now exists at every auction house, where an additional 30% or more is frequently added to the hammer price.

Items are also wanted for outright purchase, while advice can also be given to those preferring to place their items in auction, should that be a preferred route for sale.

The cat medals represent a collection that my wife Missi and I have been acquiring over many years and occasionally add to.

The Second Edition of British Comemorative Medals and their Values was published by Spink in 2010 and contains 2230 entries and more than 3000 coloured illustrations, interspersed throughout, all of which have been laid on blue silk-coated blue paper. It provides a pleasing backdrop to the objects themselves, all of which were carefully selected for their superlative condition and attractive appearance. The book was published in an edition of 2000, with each bearing its individual, unique number. 

The cost of the book, which includes postage and packing to anywhere in the world, is £180, but at this present time UK clients can benefit from purchasing their copy direct from the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, where copies are still available at £140 plus postage, following a mutiple purchase made by them some time ago.   

It is a heavy book, weighing almost 2 kilos and clients within the EU wishing to order a copy are advised to do so directly through the numismatic firms of F.R. Kunker in Osnabruck, or Schulman in Amsterdam. Those in the U.S.A. can do so through Hedley Betts in California or Charles Davis in Boston; while in the Far East, in Japan, Daruma Galleries in Tokyo similarly maintain a stock of the book.

While there are no plans for a third edition of the book, it is hoped that a stand-alone listing of updated values will be come out in the foreseeable future. For a preview of the book, simply click the Front Cover, below left, and turn the pages.  

Any questions - email or call.

Enjoy browsing and happy collecting!
