Never received anytthing in an amazon package. Pleased to see they have the this side up in the form of two arrows on the side of a package this size. Might be an indication of possible doubt that a recipient may not know what side of the toast the jam is on... Just a simple observation for a Tuesday...Or have we just set the bar too low?
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Ok. It's a set of medals.
Cathedral medals by Wiener depicting the cathedrals of Italy.
Original felt lined wooden box.
I have never seen this set for sale.

Great addition! No shop around here would have something like that!
I think they will do.
deleted because I smarted off.
Those are cool medals, Flat.
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Very cool

Hoard the keys.
Can't beat original.......very nice pieces.
Amazing set!
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Amazing medals! Thanks for sharing!
@Flatwoods I'm curious, will you be housing them in the same box or keeping them separate?
Amazing Wieners...
Super cool!
(I've visited five of the eight and now want to see the rest...)
Smitten with DBLCs.
Well, hot damn. What a great set.

I will put the medals in airtite holders.
It makes me feel better about handling them.
Even though they will shatter when dropped.
When you first posted, I knew it would be good. No disappointment here. Wow! Very cool!
I knew it would happen.
Holey Moley!! A whole set.... Amazing.... I have always admired them...Yeah, a whole set - I would have likely bought that too... Well done!! Cheers, RickO
Great find and acquisition
I am jealous.....
Beautiful set!

Yes, I agree. Thank goodness it wasn't an old box with Bowtie Fantastics in it.
