I try to honestly describe everything
I sell, but please view the pictures and grade for yourself. No
warranties are
expressed or implied in my opinion of the grades, grading is an art, not
a
science. Several subjective factors of personal preference may be
considered
different by others. These include color, toning, strike, blemishes, and
overall eye appeal. It is possible that two people will not always grade
the
same item alike. Also, as market conditions change, grading standards
change,
and will most likely continue to do so in the future. Each Bidder's own
examination of the item(s) is the criterion and not the grade
represented by
another.

About Vasco da Gama:
Vasco
da Gama was born around the year 1496, in Sines Portugal. Da Gama was
born into a noble family. Da Gama distinguished himself by defending
Portuguese interests on the coast of Guinea, against the French. In
January 1497, da Gama was placed in command of an expedition to round
Africa and reach India.
On
July 8th, 1497, da Gama sailed with his four ships for Southern Waters.
By November, they had rounded the horn and reached the furthest point
to which Dias had previously traveled. Da Gama needed the services of a
navigator to direct him to India. He encountered difficulties when he
attempted to secure those services from Muslim Mozambique. He was
received warmly in Melinda, East Africa, where he was able to obtain the
serviced of a navigator.
On
May 20th, da Gama arrived at his destination Calicut, India. He was
able to negotiate an initial trade agreement with local authorities. He
set sail for his return voyage on October 15th, 1498. He arrived in
Portugal on July 10th,1499. Da Gama was received with a "heroe's
welcome" when he returned.
In
1502, da Gama was sent out on a new mission to India. This time, he was
sent with 20 warships, to enforce Portuguese demands. Along the way he
indiscriminately attacked Arab merchant ships. He laid siege to Calcuit,
destroyed a fleet of 29 warships and forced the local princes to agree
to his demands. He went on to Cochin, where he was able to set up a
Portuguese colony. Da Gama returned to Portugal in September 1503, with
ships full of highly prized merchandise.
In 1524, da Gama was sent out once again to India. He contracted Malaria on the way and died in Cochin that same year.
