I got a few things in the mail today, including an inexpensive set of Maternal Glory orders because, well frankly, because they were cheap. I trust the seller, so I know it wasn't him, but somebody polished them up so hard that the gold plating on the first class is all but obliterated. Only the faintest hints still linger in some of the grooves. I guess shine sells.:rolleyes:

Shine sells, but when to wear your medals proudly, I would rather choose shine than darkened silver. We have to remember that the recipients of these awards were not collectors and did not care much for does and don'ts of the collecting world.
