This is the badge that everyone wants, and that no other state produced one like. Why do they want it? Because it is cute. Shaped like a bluegill, and because it is rare. The ideal centerpiece for any badge collection, or as a great addition to a fishing tackle or lure collection. As far as I know this is the only figural license that was produced by any state. Badge is in  good condition, with only light scratches and wear.  In 20 years of NC badge collecting I have only had a few of these. $475.00 item #5691
