[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 242603, member: 6763"]Angel262: Welcome to the forum, and I do remember these when they were struck. At the time the main mast was removed for replacement (due to rot). As I remember, there was a large amount of brass that was removed for repair & replacement, and these medals were struck as a fund raiser to help cover the cost of repairs to the ship. Best guess, I believe that they were produced in the thousands. But, I do not remember the original cost.[/QUOTE]
