Hi Mons14

A very nice medal which as you state "You dont see this every day!"

I bet 90th will be checking his pennies now to see if he can bid :lol!:

hi Mons14 .
You are certainly right , you dont see a medal like that every day , but I am sure the 10 , 000 AUD is something
that certainly wont be seen , add the 16.5 % premium and I think I could find one less expensive .
cheers 90th.
