<p>[QUOTE=&quot;leaconcen, post: 2220418, member: 31684&quot;]I never meant to imply that a medal like this did not exist.&nbsp; What I am saying is that this medal from what the ANS (American Numismatic Society) shows is a copy of the original.&nbsp; Also how many times do you find a medal that is a (what I believe) is a bronze painted white medal that was further painted with a clear glaze.&nbsp; I am the only person here who held this medal and saw a chip of the bronze come off revealing the white metal.&nbsp; This is what caused me to check the weight of the medal against the ANS archive.&nbsp; I found that the weight was at least 20 grams off that, to myself, confirmed this is a copy.&nbsp; Copies and forgeries exist outside of coins.&nbsp; Many people also forge medals.&nbsp; You may not think this is profitable, but some medals cost a thousand dollars or more.&nbsp; While many times especially with coins the seller/dealer knows more about the item than the buyer, the situation is reversed with medals.&nbsp; I am sure that in this situation, I know more than the seller.&nbsp; Rather from everything I have seen and learned through research shows this medal is a copy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
