If you happen to be in Europe and don't mind viewing another example of this medal through display case glass then pass this offer by.  On the other hand, if you are a connoisseur who collects only the best and rarest Dance of Death medal examples then you may want to capture this piece now while you can.  Another example might show up in the years ahead, but then again, maybe not.
