That's quite alright! You keep posting pics like that BEAUTIFUL French medal, you can hijack my thread ANYTIME!

Eringobraugh · February 21, 2009, 01:37:59 AM

Nighthawk...Its good to know that there are other who can appreciate beauty when they see it,I believe the Art Nouveau medals of france are some of the Prettiest medals ever made...

I kinda lucked out at getting this medal cheap,but,it seems like the better looking medals are getting more and more expensive and harder for the common working man to afford and that really is a shame!

How do you get such good bargains.......do you have something on the dealers?

Nighthawk · April 15, 2011, 05:46:51 AM

I don't know about that Barry, but it seems that alot of dealers don't like messing around with Franklin Mint stuff for some reason! I don't understand why! FM has always put out some really cool items over the years, and has even produced coinage for many different countries, but when it comes to stuff like this, they're kinda not interested. I ended up buying 50 of these beautiful medals. And the guy had lots more, only problem was I ran out of MONEY!!!
