This is an antique group of Grand Tour resin moulded coins which I have grouped together to keep the postage costs down. The coins look to be ROMAN to me but as to what denomination or metal they are representing, I do not know. You will see they are only 1 sided. I would imagine this is so you could see both sides of the coin at the same time from the mouldings if they were mounted etc. They were all loose and I have just grouped them together at random, so you may find the obv. in one lot and the rev. in another lot. There may be some medal impressions too. Most have been made by simply pushing the medal into the soft resin so now they are reversed in appearance.

This is a group of 4 resin coin impressions. I am no coin expert so I have no idea which coins these are.
Please see photographs provided for more details and visual confirmation of condition.
The surface of the resin may be dehydrated and cracked.
The backs are flaky from what I can only assume is old glue residue.

I said it would be a sad day when I resorted to using the GSP but today 16th January 2023 I have just enrolled with the Global Shipping Programme due to Royal Mail saying last week they would no longer be taking International post until further notice due to them having been " hacked ". Well that is the last straw, their delivery of ANY letter or package last month was diabolical. I still have customers in the UK as well as INTERNATIONAL customers that I sent items to late November and early December 2022 that still have NOT received their items !! They are lost or delayed in the masses of trolleys in sorting offices and depots around the country. As well as at numerous Customs Clearing Departments around the world. Waste of time looking on the official RM tracking website as 9 times out of 10 its unavailable - please try again later ! Or it shows me I posted it at my local post office but it has NOT gone anywhere since !!! I'm loosing money by having to refund buyers and RM don't know where the items are. So Friday, last week when I got " sorry we are not taking any international post " from the post office staff and I was rather disappointed in this whole thing.
Obviously I will be using RM to send to the shipping centre and yes overseas buyers will have to pay MORE but at least I believe you will get a much better service from GSP than you will from RM if the last two months are anything to go by, I cannot see RM performing any better in the weeks and months ahead. Unfortunately I have lost all confidence in them as a company to deliver my items in a timely manner to YOU - my customers.
So I looked at GSP and I see it is expensive in some respects but then again, maybe I am not charging enough as I do know that all packaging etc has gone up recently. And the GSP price has the customs charges etc all taken care of, so it may well be all relative.
I hope to get items delivered to all destinations with fast and efficient service from now on. If you do not care too much for the GSP then please do message me and I will send via Royal Mail to you. I think if they don't " pull their finger out " soon and get back to delivering they will be taken over by a much more competent company. Maybe that is what the " bosses " of RM want, by giving a really crap service they will be loosing business everyday. If I stick with GSP, I know RM will be loosing about £25,000 a year from my business alone, and I am only a little " fish ".
I combine postage - shipping so please please WAIT for my invoice before you pay when purchasing multiple items. Overseas buyers - If you want to drop me an ebay message in relation to you wanting a number of items I can make a SPECIAL BUY IT NOW just for you to save on shipping costs as the GSP have some strange rules regarding combined orders and the types of items one can send through their system. Anyone can pay me direct with paypal as well so do ask about that.

Scale is usually an English 1 penny coin which is 20mm in diameter which is just short of 7/8ths of an inch in diameter, or a universal Coke can, and we all know how big those are.
If you see A/F = a/f in the title or description it means "as found" condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. In relation to all my listings it does not mean " about fine ". I have used A/F for " as found " for 45 years.
I have just enrolled in the Global Shipping Programme due to the terrible service we have all been getting from Royal Mail of late. I hope to get items delivered to all destinations with fast and efficient service from now on. If you do not care too much for the GSP then please do message me and I will send via Royal Mail to you. I am hoping they will " pull their finger out " soon and get back to being a good delivery company.
