Quote from: 'markn' pid='53172' dateline='1403307729'PPH and I picked these up on the 'bay a couple of weeks ago. Issued in 1990 by the RAM and designed by Michael Meszaros (son of Andor Meszaros). They are the "Courtship" series of art medals and have the common reverse of an apple with a bite taken out of it.

Are they still together?
Or, are they sadly divorced?

What do you think? (There's no "update" medal of a big wedding!) I was reading about this it's purposely been left "open" because courting will always end differently.

The look on his face, ooh, I reckon he found her cheating on him with his best mate.
How's that old saying go,,,,,,?
My girl ran off with my best mate, & I really miss him.
LOL

Some nice doubling on the date and stars.!

robbiegal · June 28, 2014, 10:52:31 AM

and the floRIN as well
I will be having a closer look at mine!

speaking of doubling
is this coin with 60% or closer to the 100% obverse doubling?

Robster · June 28, 2014, 11:10:47 AM

A bit early for this but PPH and I traveled to our local coin shop today and I picked up a few nice silvers for the completely off-topic part of my collection.

A Few Ounces for the Stack

Philippines 1947S Peso

Czech 1955 50 Korun

Great Britain 1935 Crown

A nicely toned Parliament that PPH picked out.

And one I've not seen before today.

Sharjah 1964 5 Rupees
