I like the way the seller assumes from the presence of the coin on which the "back has been smoothed down and engraved "L Battery, R.H.A. Nery, Sept. 1, 1914". Battery" implies that the bobbin was given by a survivor of the battle to his sweetheart. This is what separates the successful antique dealer from the rest of the pack. Now, I think I will go down to the thrift shop and root around the pile of medals, medallions and pennies with the Lord's Prayer on them, such as the one I had made at the 1964 World's fair, and spangle all my bobbins with them. I wonder what the value of the coin is without the bobbin? Devon
