ESPAÑOL:
Esta subasta es por una (1) medalla que conmemora la apertura del Museo del Tren de Isabela, a traves de la Asociación "Amigos del Tren de Isabela" y el gobierno municipal, quienes buscan reavivar esta bonita historia del tren de Puerto Rico en el area de Isabela, por donde pasaba a través de puentes y túneles, en adicion al comercio que generaba su paso y parada en su hermosa estación en las afueras del pueblo, con el motivo de promover las bellezas turisticas de dicho municipio, cuyo bicentenario se realizó recientemente.
Anverso:
Es basado en una foto antigua, donde se ve la locomotora número 42, parada justo a la salida del túnel de Guajataca, encendida y con varios mecánicos dándole mantenimiento mientras posan para la foto. Arriba dice "Amigos del Tren de Isabela", a la izquierda de la locomotora se aprecia el año "2014," y debajo see lee "Guajataca".
Reverso:
Tambien basada en otra foto antigua, se ve representada la antigua estación en madera y piedra, hecha al estilo Victoriano. Se ven unas personas moviéndose en rededor, principalmente lo que parece un grupo de hombres cargando una camion con mercancía que van sacando de un vagón estacionado junto a la estación.  En la parte superior de la imagen se lee "Estación del Tren de Ysabela", y debajo se lee "1906", año de su construcción. Si se ve la estación de cerca, como dato curioso, tiene un letrero que dice "Ysabela", esto debido a que en español antiguo todos los nombres propios comenzando con "i" de punto llevaban "Y" griega, una costumbre que ya no se usa en el español moderno de hoy dia.
Especificaciones:
Medalla un poco mas grande que un dólar de plata, y con borde liso, tamaño 40 mm x 5 mm, y peso de 1 onza, en aleación con cubierta en níquel cromado, y excelente terminación sin circular, casi "flor de cuño" proof like. Viene en una cápsula de fuerte plástico que si bien la veo medio rayada, es perfecta para proteger la medalla contra rayazos. Esta pieza fué directamente obtenida del Museo del Tren de Isabela, cuyo costo original era por pieza. La vendo a para promover dicho museo, de manera que no me gano nada, ya que el resto apenas cubre el costo del sello de envío.
ENGLISH:
Howdy!
This auction is for one (1) Silver Dollar sized medal commemorating the opening of the Isabela Train History Museum, in 2014. This municipality is known for its  two old tunnels and a few bridges, along with a neat station through which the train passed. Its most widely known tunnel called Tunnel of Guajataka, which is located next to a beach area, between the towns of Quebradillas and Isabela, and which leads to another beach nearby, called El Pastillo. For many years after the train was gone, this tunnel served as part of a dance hall for latin music, reggaeton, and rock concerts, kind of a get together place for youngsters, which gave it notoriety amongst locals, including myself, who used to visit it frequently late at night on weekends, after going to the movies or hanging out with friends, while on my teen and early twenties... The place is now a historical focal point for tourists, as well as the museum.
OBVERSE:
It is based on an old photo and features an Engine halted right out of the Guajataka Tunnel, with some guys performing maintenance on it. At the top it reads "Friends of the Isabela Train" which is an association that promotes saving this local historical heritage, at the Engine's left it shows the year "2014", and below the art it reads "(Tunnel of) Guajataca".
REVERSE:
Also based on an old photograph, it features the old Isabela train station, made of stone and wood in 1906, with very ornate ceilings, kind of victorian era style. Around it are people passing by, with what appears to be some guys uploading a truck with freight taken off from the train wagon next to the station. On top of the image it reads "Ysabela Train Station", then below "1906" the year it was built. (In old Spanish all proper names beginning with a "i" would have a capital "Y" instead. Both letters carry the same sound, but this custom is no longer used in modern Spanish).
I believe this station was later substituted by a cement building by the American Rail Road Co, just a few years before the ARR train company got bankrupt, was acquired by the local government, closed, and its assets sold off to Venezuela and Colombia.
CHARACTERISTICS:
This large medal, which is slighlty bigger than a Morgan Silver Dollar, and has smooth edge, measures 40mm x 5mm, has a weight of 1 ounce. It seems to be made of an alloy clad in chromed nickel finish, resulting in an astonishing shine. It has an almost "Proof - Like" quality uncirculated condition, and comes in its protective plastic capsule, which is not in the best of shapes, but is tough, and protects the medal from scratches. This medal was acquired from the "Museo del Tren de Isabela" museum, itself, who used sell it for a piece, so I am not making any gain on it, I only sell it to promote the museum, as my cost barely covers the shipping stamp.

PACKAGING
Enviamos dentro de mica, cartón, cápsula, o protector acrílico, envuelto entre cartón grueso o burbuja, dentro de sobre o caja sellado con cinta adhesiva a los 4 lados. Haremos todo lo posible por resolver su problema y ganar su satisfacción. Algunas medalla o moneda quizá sea enviada en cápsula de acrílico como cortesía nuestra. Debido a que usted pagó por la medalla o moneda, y no por la cápsula, nosotros no somos responsables de reemplazar cápsulas recibidas rotas. Debido a que las medallas vienen con alguna que otra imperfección de fábrica, es normal que una medalla contenga algún rayacito o cantacito mínimo de lo cual no somos responsables. Las antiguedades que vendemos tienen imperfecciones por vejez, uso y desgaste, que pudieran no reflejarse en las fotos. Por eso sólo reemplazaremos o devolveremos dinero en caso de mercancía recibida gravemente dañada. Clientes que abusen con reclamaciones exageradas e infundadas serán bloqueados en el futuro.
Items are put inside plastic wrap, coin flip or capsule, foam insert, card protector, bank note jacket, FDC jacket, or similar protective method, then shipped padded within card board or bubble wrap inside an envelope or box. We’ll do everything we can to help you and get your 5 stars. Some medals or coins may be shipped inside plastic capsules as a courtesy of ours. Because you paid for a medal or coin, and not for an acrylic capsule, we are not to be held responsible over capsules received cracked or broken. Medals received from the factory will feature minor scratches or nicks over which we shouldn't be held responsible. Likewise, vintage items we sell may feature imperfections due to age, tear, and wear, which may not reflect on the photos. Due to this, we will only replace or provide refund on items received greatly damaged. Clients maliciously seeking to take advantage of the system by placing bogus or exaggerated claims will be blocked from making future business with us.
