Title: A Dragon For Your Thoughts
Post by: voyageur on June 13, 2018, 10:58:44 AM
I really enjoyed seeing Sir Kena's lovely 'birthday' Two Dragon coin. Here is one of my Dragon favorites ~ a 76mm 2006 Tantalum Centennial Medal from our very own Daniel Carr. Do you have a special Dragon coin or medal ?

The only special one I have is our 2009 medal.

Royal Mint released this coin as part of 2018 Annual set.

Coin is for Prince George's 5th birthday.

I was able to pick one up from someone who broke up an annual set and did not want £5 coin.

Why would they not want that coin?!  So cool!

One of my dragon's, but some years ago the majority of opinions on CCF was that it's a counterfeit. :'(

Since the £5 coin does not circulate, some folks don't want that coin from the annual sets.

Nice coin Nancy. I had a few of those types of coins too and the concensus
on CCF was that they were all fake too. I sent them all to Nighthawk many
years ago. Thanks for reminding me though, as a friend of my wife went to
China on a cruise last year and bought me back a little booklet about the
old Chinese coins, including samples of the coins in the book. I am guessing
that they would all be fake though.

You know what they say, Nancy...  Opinions are like assholes  :D  Everyone has one.

I think your coin is very interesting regardless of its lineage. Imagine if coins could record where they have been, who has held them and what they have bought. What a story it would be and especially for your Dragon.
