Pikes Peak Summiteer Bronze Antique
Dubbed "America's Mountain," Pikes Peak has figured prominently in the history of the United States. Serving as the inspiration for the timeless anthem "America the Beautiful," it is truly a national treasure.
Pikes Peak forms a breathtaking backdrop for Colorado Springs and the Garden of the Gods. At an altitude of 14,110 feet above sea level, Pikes Peak is the 31st highest peak of 54 Colorado 14'er peaks. The farthest east of the big peaks in the Rocky Mountain chain, its location contributed to early fame among explorers, pioneers and immigrants, and made it the symbol of the 1859 Gold Rush to Colorado with the slogan, "Pikes Peak or Bust".
Over a half million people visit the summit house every year by the Pikes Peak Highway, Barr Trail or the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. The Pikes Peak Highway, paved part of its 19 miles, is open year round, weather permitting. The 13-mile Barr Trail offers the greatest base-to-summit elevation gain in the state: 7,400 feet. The trail begins at the base of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs.
This coin is dedicated to all lovers and admirers of Pikes Peak, and is the perfect gift for remembering a visit. The obverse has a rendering of Pikes Peak along with its elevation, while the reverse the classic image of a mountain climber trudging upwards. Minted in a proprietary brass alloy.
Size: 1 1/2 inch (39mm) Round

I protect my coins in either a PVC or vinyl coin pouch, flip, zip bag and/or bubble wrap to protect them during storage and shipment. I am starting to make an effort to get a little more eco friendly, so I hope to only use recycled packaging in the future, to include newspaper or tissue paper. But rest assured, your coin(s) won't get scratched in transit from my mailbox. Coins that aren't packaged safely are a major pet peeve of mine and I won't skimp when it comes to that.

EVERY PAYPAL PURCHASE QUALIFIES YOU FOR A 10% CASH BACK REBATE!
Payment must be sent within 5 days of closing of this auction. If sent by mail, you must let me know it has been sent to avoid the item being re-listed. If payment is received, by Monday 8am EST, you can be sure it will get to the post office by Tuesday at the latest, most likely Monday. Other days of the week are more sporadic.
Please note that there is a handling charge included with the posted shipping and insurance price. This is to defray the miscellaneous costs of shipping your product in packaging that will keep it safe during the shipping and handling process. For each purchase, International buyers are required to pay $1 for insurance. This is to protect you and me from the high level of theft in these transactions. Because of fraud and theft by a few bad apples, I won't be selling "lots" of more than 1 item to any non-US addresses any more. I appologize to all of you who are honest, but I am sure you understand why I am doing this. I gladly ship to FPO/APO addresses.
UNDERSTAND, THAT MY SHIPPING CHARGE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF YOUR STAMP. NO NEED TO LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK DUE TO YOU AGREEING TO THIS FEE, BY CLICKING CONFIRM. INTERNATIONAL S&H IS MORE THAN DOMESTIC, BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR YOUR PACKAGE. I AM VERY SORRY IF YOU FEEL THE CHARGES ARE TOO MUCH FOR YOU.
FeedBack is a Very Important Part of the eBay Auction Process. If you have any problems, let's see if we can work it out.
If payment isn't received by 14 days, you can expect your Unpaid Item Strike and NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. (Please honor this Contract)
