<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2125820, member: 29751&quot;]A little more than 2 years ago a seller on eBay posted two of the same type of medal.&nbsp; One was a BIN for $39, and the other was an auction starting at $0.99.&nbsp; I snagged the BIN for $39 within 20 minutes of it being posted.&nbsp; The auction went on to close for &gt; $230.&nbsp; It was for the 1983 Paris Mint restrike of the Libertas Americana medal.&nbsp; I was elated when I received the medal in hand.&nbsp; It&#039;s huge, and in case of home invasion would work well as a weapon. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It pays to know what you&#039;re looking at when BINs come along like this! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-2/1983_Libertas_Americana_Restrike_Large_Bronze_composite_zps0cbf6fe5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A size comparison for you (vs. a Lincoln cent)</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-2/1983_Libertas_Americana_Restrike_Large_Bronze_size_compare_zps5f501323.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
