If i remember rightly i think your right as my mum did have 6 trays and the other 4 were of coins .. ive found thier little id books and says birmingham mint on them but nothing about the cap badges .. so must have been a set . Sadly i dont know what happened to the coins havent seen those in many years .. thankyou . Di .

Di,
I have a full collection of the badges but not the coins/medallions fully documented here http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...hp?albumid=767 If you choose to sell these Birmingham Mint badges individually or in small lots on eBay you might get up to £5 per badge. Foe example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1922856391...84.m1558.l2649 However, they are handsome badges and sometimes they can achieve more. Tim
