The medals are dreadful

Not if you fancied selling it

??? the medals are made of silver

wouldn't mind one

The silver ones yeah

gold plated silver - would be in the high thousands if solid, we are in a recession after all

Apparently they cost £8 million in bullion. Cannot believe the gold ones are solid though.

they arent and to my knowledge never have been.

Thought they used be, still mainly gold apart from the plating I think

they arent - the gold medals are gold plated silver. the last gold medals to be pure gold were Stockholm 1924

'still mainly gold apart from the plating I think'

?????????????????

Silver* and the plating being gold

This will help

Sorry meant that ^

It's all right Sir Dennis - you'll never own one.

well whatever they are made of they are far too big

im favourite for the blindfold trampolining 2016

They are 400g of which 6g is gold and 394g is silver and copper, they are worth approx $621 Paris 1900 were worth in todays money $2667, Stockholm 1912 $1208 and Barcelona 1992 $484 they are the heaviest ever from what i can accertain.

they must be heaviest ever coz they are by far the biggest ever

i like them!

its a lot of weight round your neck tho' nearly 1lb weight, you'd know it if you get smacked in the face with it.

Gold app £400, Silver £225 and I do believe the bronze are worth £3. I kid you not. I wouldnt mind a bronze anyway. I could sell it and donate it to Horse Racing Experts diminishing bank!

must be dead chuffed to be worth £3 musn't it?

I think seeing as we are in recession we should have made them of chocolate...like the ones on a chritmas tree.

That's what they remind me of
