Not sure it's that many dollars worth of spotless, though - some "spirited bidding" there!

I think there was a Waitangi-Bledisloe 1935 medal also in bright bronze. I'd be quite interested to know more about them, and get some better photos. The Morel photos weren't up to much, it has to be said. I wonder what a 1865 bright bronze would look like in hand? I also wonder what other goodies Jim has in his collection. There has been a sparsity of decent NZ stuff in the Noble auctions, so maybe Jim has been nabbing most of the good stuff?!
We're trying to redo all the photos as much as possible - I have some of Leon's negatives but even they're not the best, hence the reliance on the Noble sale and the kindness of local dealers and collectors to supply images. I also need to contact the Dunedin museum (which one??) to get images of the only gold version of 1865/1 - that's still on the To Do list.
