I think the author of said newatlas.com article was less than thorough in his research prior to publication.

This tech has been a reality for at minimum 23 years. Reference and citation below.

Indeed.

Sincere graduations and excellent purchase. Awesome timing with the recent epic silver premiums also.

I overpaid a significant % over spot. $100 USD for the one. Cleaned very weirdly/oddly(?) too.

Most, including myself of course, love to share stories about the "winners". Human nature is what it is so quite understandable.

Thought I would share a "loser" transaction for a change. Especially one this fundamental.

And by a person (i.e. me) that's been 'around the block' so many times over my lifespan I AM THE BLOCK.

Over confidence mixed with an inflated ego shaken with poor timing a soothing tonic they do not create.

LOLOL

Ditto with me.

My only thought is simply a prior owner's personal labeling /catalog system. Probably means nothing.

$15-18 USD .

Thank you for helping.

Here is the question(s). What does NMR 85 mean? Is this a rare token?

Thank you for the info and insight. Yes, I think you have valid point regarding the correlation between the "popularity" of the event/act having an impact on market sentiment regarding the medal. While doing research into the event itself once a person peeks behind the "glossy Royal veneer" indeed you find a none to popular (and a bit bazaar) situation.

My price discovery thus far is inline with what you stated.

I think that is very cool you have that giant 100g example.

P.S. The price on the listing is way high as it's a momentary placeholder price.

1969 Prince of Wales Investiture Medal Charles Silver 45mm Royal Mint Hallmark On Rim w/Box.

I see that there are at least a couple of different sizes and I can't find any info about them so if any info or even a link to a resource would be great. Thank you.

Indeed. I feel the same and imagine we aren't alone so hopefully there will be a pleasant upside for all to enjoy. A recent coin show I attended certainly attested to that being the case. Hopefully this very positive trend will continue unabated. ;-0

Here you go. It's free to read, copy and share. It's the modern seminal work in English on to OP's specific question. No need to read much more.

The words or lexicon used to define this behavior, and its associated attributes, change depending on the time and place but the core element has remained the same since day one. That one constant is simply human nature. There's nothing new under the sun.

This is a match case reproduction.

I am not an expert but appears indicative of those made in SE Asia during the 1970's for export to Europe.

In order...

Q1 Answer: Yes.
Q2 Answer: Answers itself and the answer will be the correct one for you.
Q3 Answer: Same as above.

Overthinking will only cause procrastination and/or suck the fun out of it.

You are fortunate to have lucked upon an unexpected gift.

This is a "no lose" situation. Whatever you decide you are a winner.

Kindly get to it, have fun, and enjoy yourself. &
