Interesting metaphor... :chuckle

I kinda agree. But I think that, if I could, I'd try to get two of each medal, order, title and whatsoever.

I'd keep one of each in a normal cabinet or something, and the other ones I would carefully polish and restore to it's "right outta mint" condition, and make it shine as it once shone, and put them in a vacuum chamber/pressurized container (with a polycarbonate window), so it won't gain patina.

Thus it would be expensive, it would be the ultimate collection.
