I am debating whether or not the KOTCT should purchase a few of these medallions for future sale? I know without a doubt someone will want one in the future but don't know whether or not to tie up our funds? Any thoughts on this? For what it is worth I was thinking 4 to 6 medallions?
Yes, or he hid it very well which I suspected at first but after a tremendous amount of looking I can't find one. Was it intentional or an oversight? It Daniel did accidently forget would this make them the FIRST Moonlight Mint error to reach circulation (so to speak)? Perhaps Daniel has new Moonlight Mint logo in mind? Seems we have a new mystery on our hands but, as they say, someone knows!
Sorry to hear about your little guy in the hospital. I do hope he is doing well? I will email my PayPal ID in a few minutes. With a little luck we should see these medallions very soon.
Through the years there must have been changes as the translation now includes soldier, foot soldier and Knight. I am having trouble with the fact two words used on our medallion both show the same definition which would put it as In Each Knight, Knights we trust? That would be using one of the various words used for each Latin word I entered and searched for. Don't get me wrong as I really like the mystery the latin terminology adds to the reverse of the medallions. I am just trying to learn something today and at my age that can be confusing!
In trying to get the translation, without looking through all of our 2008 medallion postings, I came upon duplicate meanings for Miles and Militis as they both mean Knight or Soldier. If I put things together correctly I would get "In Each Knight, Knights We Trust" by the dictionary I was searching in. That would be word for word? If anyone can find a site with a correct explanation I sure would like to have a look at it.
Paint Your Wagon your site is very good but I still, word for word, get a dual answer on Miles and Militis.
Merlin said the Dragon shall sleep in the Slovak Republic! Guess he knew what he was talking about. Erik I am thrilled the package found its way to you as I had never sent a package to your country so I was worried about it being delivered. It is good to see that you have a trustworthy postal system that we all can count on as many countries do not. I think you will find there are many good hearts inside these walls of KOTCT and two of them have spoken to you by way of this gift. There are millions of good people left in our world and we are all very fortunate to know a few of them here at KOTCT. Please take the time to thank your mother and father for allowing us into your computer to share our passion for this hobby. And, as for the Knights who purchased your medallion, they have already been thanked in your posting above.
It is soooooooo good to know the Australian post found Triggersmob by the end of the month. That takes a world of stress off of all the U.S. Knights and Knightesses who were about to look at their medallions just for him. I do want Trigg to know....WE were really going to do it just for him!!!
I can see right now I am in the wrong line of work! There is a great amount of money and fools out there just waiting to buy whatever I can create! What have I been thinking?
Feel free to submit to any magazine you wish! While I would agree it would be a great numismatic human interest story I don't know how the publications would feel. One thing is for certain there is NO group on the net like us!
I have learned, from Daniel Carr, there is a chance the CoinCrusader Memorial Medallion could be struck as early as next week if his order for pewter blanks arrive by then. Once again we are nearing the end of another successful quest.
I will be needing to wrap up the order count very quickly with our membership and also with the Burke family. If you want one of these PLEASE get it on order.
Those cheap old hobby tokens usually go right through customs. These are so old they had a dragon on them! Nice photo Paint Your Wagon! How does it feel to be Belgiums exclusive owner of such a medallion. Collectors from all over Europe would surely envy you if they only knew!
HumpyBong I wanted to make it as quick and painless for you as I could which meant I had to suffer for all my Aussie friends! (anybody buying any of this?) I figured you could slap on a return address and send them on and, as you know, I/We will gladly send your postal fees down there by PayPal. Thats the least we can do for such prompt service. All I need is that PayPal address.
