Here

It's not the most beautiful medal design I've ever seen, but not bad at all. But the idea that anything in proof over 100 years old can be found for this price is amazing to me. Just thought I'd share

Very nice indeed!! It's on my watch list because I haven't decided if I want to BIN it. Were you planning on going for it, Spoon?

Nope, go for it

That seller is probably my favorite when it comes to drooling.. still haven't bought anything though

Mark you're lucky I almost binned it too.

Don't mind me blowing the smoke off my hot trigger fingers!

When I'm tracking something with a BIN and it shows up here, I figure I need to make my mind up sooner than later. The part that made me hesitant was the note that it was lacquered. It doesn't look like it from the photo, but Dirk's photos are usually washed out. Still, if it wasn't that apparent in glaring light, then it appears it was a high-quality lacquering job.
