<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 2029955, member: 19423"]Never figured out exactly what it was worth... would have needed to auction it and make sure all those interested knew about the auction to really see what it would have been worth for certain. But I did have cash offers from multiple parties well into the thousands of dollars. I would guess that there would have been a bidding war if it went to auction and who knows how badly each party really wanted it and how far they would have bid it up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, it was a lucky find for me at a local shop and certainly the coolest thing I've ever won off the local bid boards. Most likely could have made more money off of the piece, but I did well enough and it's not always about the money. I think the medal is back where it really belongs now and is in a place where it can be enjoyed by many... that was much more important.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
