Web buzz about auction Queen Elizabeth...
Resolved Question: How rare are these coins and how much are they worth?
I've looked on the Internet to crud results :L
First one says on first side: ELIZABETH II D.G . REG . F . D . and is either side of the queens head who looks young and is wearing a tiara/crown.
On the second side is a picture of The prince Of Wales and Lady Diana. The words circling them are: THE PRINCE OF WALES AND LADY DIANA SPENCER . 1861 . H.R.H.
This coin is bigger than a modern two pound coin.
The second coin has a picture of George VI and the writing says: GEORGEIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX
On the other side is a a shield I think and it says: HALF CROWN 1950 on the bottom and FID . . DEF on the top. It's the same size a a 2 pound coin ish...
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much if you can help and don' tell me to go on an auction site please...
Resolved Question: Where do you think this gem encrusted gold finial belongs?
Ten years after being found lying in the vaults of an English bank, a gem-encrusted gold finial plundered from Tipu Sultan's huge golden throne is being put up for sale in London.
Auctioneers Bonhams, who describe the finial as "one of the most important Tipu items ever to appear for sale", have valued it at around 800,000 pounds.
The tiger-head finial was one of eight that stood on each end of a gigantic gold octagonal throne in Seringpatnam, on which Tipu - a legendary admirer of the tiger - would have sat cross-legged, but didn't because he vowed not to mount it until he had defeated the British.
It was discovered during a routine inspection by auctioneers in the late 1990s, having lain in an English castle for at least 100 years and then in a bank vault.
Only two more of the eight finials are known to exist - one is in the Clive Collection in Wales. Another briefly appeared in a London dealer's catalogue in the 1970s, never to be seen again, Claire Penhallurick of Bonhams Indian and Islamic Department, said.
The finial going under the hammer April 2 belongs to the family of Thomas Wallace, who oversaw the East India Company, whose army defeated Tipu Sultan in the battle of Seringapatnam (Srirangapatnam) May 4, 1799.
Penhallurick said Tipu's majestic gold throne was broken up and plundered in such a hurry by the victorious British that little is known about the fate of the remaining throne relics, although a large gold tiger head from the front of the throne platform now resides at Queen Elizabeth II's home in Windsor Castle along with a jewelled bird.
The tiger head, which is encrusted with diamonds, rubies and emeralds, had lain at Featherstone Castle in Northumberland before being hidden away in a bank.
"The British, sadly, weren't very well behaved in Seringapatnam," Penhallurick said.
"I would have thought a lot of the other finials have come to Britain. Others could have picked them up in India.
"We hope it goes back to India," she said.
Tipu, who adopted the tiger as the symbol of his power and kingship, became the East India Company's most feared foe, famously declaring: "I would rather live one day as a tiger than a lifetime as a sheep."
Penhallurick described the finial as "without a doubt, of the greatest historical significance as it belongs to the most important symbolic object in Tipu Sultan's kingdom, his throne, which he refused to mount until he had defeated the British."

Resolved Question: 'Dead Prince Harry' to be shown in London. How disgusting?
The sculpture shows a life-size Harry lying on his back, clasping a locket featuring a picture of his mother, with pennies placed over his eyes, his head resting on a copy of the bible and a vulture perched on his boot.
The head is earless -- a reference to a reported threat from an Iraqi militia leader to send him back to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, without his ears.
A bronze casting of Harry's "ears" is to be sold on Internet auction site eBay, while organisers are also inviting visitors to the show to leave cards and flowers at the memorial.
People seem to be forgetting that Harry is only 23 years old! How do you think he feels about having a dead sculpture of himself put in London, at the time where his mother's inquest is going on.
