    What will we find in this world? Worrysome warriors, wholesome wenches or wretched wannabes? Well, we went, we saw and we wondered, was it worth it? You can wait no longer, make it worthwhile to wander in the land of W

    All gold, not bimetallic. But it is kinda neat how the bowsprit pierces the border, there, as if it's about to sail right out of the reverse of the medal.

    I let @Chris B talk me out of that piece, as well as another cool exonumia piece, and I miss them both. But at the time my credit card debt was rather unruly, so I did the responsible thing and sold some stuff to pay some bills.

    I should have read the PCGS label and not just gaze admiringly at the medal
