Royal Mint 1989 Annual Renaissance Medal

This medal is not for sale...it is from my GMM/Landis collection.
Don't Be Afraid To Clean Those RenFest Medals!
Say what? Did I hear correctly?
Yes... this is what Ron Landis told me as I was buying these neat
RenFest medals. He went on to tell me that when he was selling this
material at Renaissance Fairs/Festivals people wouldn't buy them unless
they were bright and shiny. Since he and Joe were touring the country in
their converted school bus their material was regularly exposed to less
than ideal environmental conditions. So they used
Brasso
on anything showing distress. This all means that... These RenFest
medals are NOT, with rare exception, what a numismatist would consider
to be in pristine condition. In fact, lots of them exhibit the very
corrosion spots that brought out the
Brasso
in the first place. I have chosen to leave the medals as I find them
beyond a bit of silicone to remove loose dirt.

Inexpensive Webpage Creation: I'm
interested in creating webpages for fishing camps, resorts and
lodges. I work on the barter system...my services for your
services...so we both get a good deal and I get some excellent
fishing experiences. I do my "thing" first and if you don't like my
end product then I don't get "paid"!
