Hi everyone,

Got the following coins for sale, some really nice historic medals. As always, $8 for tracked and insured shipping. Paypal accepted. Prices negotiable. These medals are often hard to price and find similar examples, so I'm basing them on similar medals, past examples sold, etc.
Thanks for looking!
