3. Bi-metallic from Alderney............by Massimiliano Aiello, Italy

The following I could read in a Royal Mint brochure:
--Quote
Featuring the latest numismatic technique of screen printing, the 5 Pound
silver Proof coin bears a reverse design by British artist, Christine
Ellingham. The design depicts the path of the Moon as it passes across the
face of the Sun, indicating the shadow it will cast over Southern England
and Alderney. The solar segments of the design have been delicately screen
printed in yellow, providing a brilliant contrast to the silver Proof finish
of the coin.
--Unqoute

If you look in the WBCC Homepage,

Refering to WBCC Newsmail 160, item 6, about the Bi-metallic Canadian medals
I offer the following additional information....I own the set of six medals

8. Bi-metallics from Algerian...by Seung-woo Choi, Republic of Korea

I now have 1997 Algerian Proof Sets for sale. This proof set comes in an
original leather(red) & plastic case and contains 9 coins 1/4 ~ 100 dinars)
including 4 bi-metallics. All coins except 100 Dinar (94 or 96) are dated
1997. This set was issued for Presentation purpose only (not released to
public) and therefore it is very difficult to find. However, somebody
managed to get a few sets through the Algerian central bank (don't ask how)
and supplied them to me. The price, this is the ridiculous part, is U$120
per set excluding postage. If any of the WBCC members is willing to buy this
incredibly expensive set, please send an e-mail to swchoi@nexon.co.kr .
Unfortunately, I am not able to split the set into Bi-metallic and
non-Bi-metallics.

Payment should be made by cash (US$ or any hard currency) and sent to the
follwing address:
(registered airmail please)

10. Auction bidding accidents...by Cliff Anderson (WBCC PR Centre), USA

Refering to WBCC Newsmail 160, item 3 the following:
The WBCC has been advised that our attempt to save embarrassment between
ourselves by identifying each others’ usernames in auctions may be a
technical violation of US law, in the sense that we would be inadvertantly
restricting the price generated by the auction. In using the WBCC network
to collect our usernames, it could be interpreted that we are organizing to
limit the auction’s prices. Clearly, that is not our intent.
But, in an abundance of caution, the WBCC is stopping this activity so that
it cannot be claimed that there is any deliberate intent by the WBCC, or
accidental result, to circumvent law or the outcome of any auction. Thus,
this will be last mention in the WBCC website of recognizing members’
auction usernames.

"See" you next week,
