<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 3060207, member: 93888&quot;]Just made my very first eBay purchase for a coin, or in this case a medal.&nbsp; I got it because it depicts a Jeep and so wanted to have it for my collection.&nbsp; I suspect it&#039;s not really worth anything, but I only paid $12 which includes shipping from france.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, here&#039;s the seller&#039;s picture</p><p>[ATTACH=full]767416[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m having a heck of a time finding much info on it though.&nbsp; I tried to research before I purchased but just said, eh what the heck, I like it and it&#039;s not going to put me in the poor house.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas on where I might be able to find better info on this?&nbsp; I wondered if any had ever been submitted for grading but I can&#039;t seem to navigate PCGS very well.&nbsp; I did find the Museum&#039;s website that shows that you can purchase this and other medallions.&nbsp; It&#039;s called De Lattre&#039;s Jeep and is #6 at this link - <a href="http://www.musee-armee.fr/en/coming-to-the-museum/museum-souvenirs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.musee-armee.fr/en/coming-to-the-museum/museum-souvenirs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.musee-armee.fr/en/coming-to-the-museum/museum-souvenirs.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts on this one?&nbsp; The listing says it&#039;s gold plated, which again wasn&#039;t a deciding factor but I&#039;d be curious to know how much plating and what purity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Update - I just noticed these can be purchased for 2 Euros at the Musuem which is about $2.50 US.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking these are not gold plated after all, which again, is fine.&nbsp; Still would like more info though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
