<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1270538, member: 10103"]It's all a matter of taste and more personally, what you like to collect. Like the posters before me who indicated that issue wasn't quite their "cup of tea", I have to agree with them. I'm not a "fan" of the design so I didn't purchase it. That's not to say that the OP was wrong in purchasing these medals. He saw something in the medal that maybe some of us other guys missed. Maybe he just liked what the design signified. Maybe it was the Eagle that drew him to the medal, or maybe Lady Liberty holding the lamp. Maybe the medal holds a special personal significance to him. Perhaps he lost someone on that day and wanted to remember them. No matter, it's his personal preference and I applaud him for posting his purchase here. After all, there were those (back in the day) that didn't like the design of the Morgan Dollar or the Flying Eagle cent. Oh how times have changed........and how they continue to change. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
