Thanks for the kind comments, I'd get more pictures but my camera or my macro lens is acting up. Giving me a strange error message. Hope I don't have to sell it to get a new camera or lens! Maybe the wife will let me have part of our tax refund!!!

just noticed I have been a member here for almost 10 years, including this post a total of 5 posts for an average of 1 post every 2 years. I would imagine more than one person is happy with that low post count.

I know it's not a US coin, but I wanted to show this medal off a little. I saw this nice medal come up for sale on eBay a few weeks ago, and I had to have it. It's a restrike, listed by NGC on the label as a "modern restrike" -- unfortunately, the privy mark/information I need to see to get an idea of how "modern" is on the edge, and not viewable in the NGC holder. Nonetheless, it has a nice aged patina to the surfaces, and attractive super-high-relief surfaces. If I had to guess, I'd say it is a restrike from sometime in the first half of the 20th Century.

 

The medal commemorates The Battle of Borodino, which was the bloodiest and largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars.

10 years of posting and now, 40% of your total posts occurring within a 5 minute span. You need to slow down and quit trying to pad your count. :devil:

I'm with you there Jimbo, and the tab toning on the Roanoke is nice. I bet they both are much nicer in hand.
