I bought this, and I'm not really sure why. It's easier than actually winning the broad jump!

Princeton's colors are orange and black and this ribbon appears as a vivid yellow and black. Perhaps it has faded over time or my monitor is not displaying it properly to me and it is, indeed, orange.

Could be Bill Clinton's from Yale.

Cool piece!

You'd think the engraver would figure out who won rather than who probably won.

Good one. Took me a second, but got it. Neat coin, medal award thing.

I liked that piece too and was an underbidder. I think you got a good buy. Congrats!

No doubt an honor for the original recipient, but a shame to lose a nice coin. Cheers, RickO

I guess we'll take your word for it?
But would be nice to actually see.

It's amazing to me some of the things that families don't consider "heirlooms". Heck..........if it was from my family, it would have been passed down with its history documented for all future recipients.

I'm not sure. Stacks, which is where I boughtit said it came in with a bunch of Princeton medals and they thought it was Princeton. I don't have it on hand yet.

Thanks. I don't know if it was a good price or not, it's so hardto value these things. But I was intrigued by it.
