Well deserved! Thanks for doing it right!

[Wihlborg]

Thanks again guy’s. It means a lot to me to receive all of these congratulatory comments about this award. This is especially so because so many of them come from people who I hold in the highest regard, both personally and as numismatists.

WoW! What a set! That Lafayette is a stunner!

 

daunting task of trying to assemble a complete set of them, including the two Norse medals.

 

John, what's the scoop about not finding a Norse thin?

Hi Victor,

 

It’s pretty simple really, I just haven’t found one that I liked yet. I’m looking for an MS-65 example with eye appeal, and that’s like looking for the proverbial ‘needle in a haystack’

 

All but one of the examples I have seen so far have been down right ugly in my opinion. The one nice example was in a Heritage auction a while back. I bid what I thought was strong money for it, but was blown away by the time the auction ended.
