<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2256699, member: 11786&quot;]Sure, what was produced by Austria-Hungary during this period was <i>pretty impressive</i>, but even those pieces don&#039;t remotely look like this.The context of <i>where </i>the medal was made (ie colonial Philadelphia), the popular <i>style of lettering and images</i>, and <i>the tools/skills involved</i> are <i>everything.</i> Understanding this is essential to making the right call; the <i>burden of proof </i>is upon the person claiming this piece is a genuine period medal. The Coinquest article above lays out the evidence pretty clearly. It&#039;s simply that the details (or lack thereof) <i>speak for themselves</i> in this case.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/757/22176031868_02696c63bf_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
