<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3564123, member: 19250&quot;]I am sure there&#039;s a special audience that would love to have this specimen.</p><p>I have several medals that are artifacts medals as they are made from medal taken from as an example a ships fittings .</p><p>One is from one of the first refit of the U.S.S. Constellation made from copper spikes that had been replaced durring the refit.</p><p>Another the U.S.S. Olympia&nbsp; built in 1882 famous for being Dewey flag ship in the Spanish Americ an war. Now a museum in Philadelphia .</p><p>During the refit they used&nbsp; medal fromthe propellers to strike medals.</p><p>And I&#039;m sure if researched you find more...however since this specimen medal is from something that&#039;s is closer to most of us it may comand a higher premium.</p><p>Especially since the materials use were less limited than that of a medal made from a twin screw battle ship. As those props were of good size.</p><p>I would Google artifact medals and see if you can get a hit on yours as to how many were struck and a more detailed write up on such medals.</p><p>Sweet piece.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]947871[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]947872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]947873[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
