I agree George, I am sure that he will be holding the medal for a while but then again someone may like it..... If it does sell will have to look at my insurance..... LOL...…

P.S. Of course that's Canadian Dollars...….

About the same in Aust dollars-I guess you might have a couple salted away but if you bought them a long time ago then you have done very well.

It would be cheap if that was South African Rand! On the other hand, the price looks spectacular when written in ZARs'!
