Ninth place in the Antiques Roadshow Top Ten Items

Ninth place belongs to this solid gold (aside from the blade) sword presented to a wounded civil-war soldier by the President of the United States during the time of the Mexican war. One of only five remaining such presentation swords in the world (one was lost in a fire). At that time, this was the highest honor a soldier could receive.

they should give these out instead of medal of honors

@123420727 Hell of an incentive to earn a Medal of Honor! People would be killing each other for them - no pun intended.

[Ultranothing]

@EwaY83 Holy cow! Thanks for pointing me to that! How did I miss it?

I'll get to putting it up and re-arranging the videos soon. Thanks again!

Hey, who doesn't want a lump of gold?

Though in it's ornamental state, I'm sure you'd have gotten a little more for it.

i would rather see a bunch of people who had no idea what price their objects were.

makes a great reaction.

I think if you have a solid gold sword that has engraved on it "presented by the President of the United States of America," you're gonna expect it to be worth a fair sum.

@123420727 then it would mean as much because at least 10 medals of honor are given out each go around
