Evening all.

I know starting a medal thread but did anyone watch the programme last night about these "experts".

Basically someone was selling 1500 medals for which they put in a bid of £6000 (and were gutted when they didn't win, so wanted to pay £4 a medal).

When the seller gave them the first few boxes there were a few death plaques so if the medals were there (probably were) then looking at minimum £100 (sky the limit once knowing where the poor soldier was killed and what regiment).

Then he gave them two further boxes ("keeping the good to last") what I could see with a quick view Artic Medal, Crimea medal, India General Service, IY long service and they were on the top so god knows what was below them and they want to offer £4 a medal (easily over a grand or two just for those four).

No wonder they were outbid as some other dealer probably did the right thing and offer a good price.

Hope they have good internet connection as without it they would be buggered.

That saying would recommend watching it as to hear what baloney they come out with.

Also last week had an Albert Medal that a collector had for years and wanted £14k, they may want to look at DNW 2017 where it was sold, they didn't use the internet on that.
