<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 11931669, member: 87179&quot;]Over the past month there have been 2 significant auctions of Goetz medals. Last month Heritage had a sale of graded examples. Yesterday CNG sold a number of raw ones. I feel like I was bidding against the same person in both. On most lots the price far exceeded what I wanted to pay. In the end, between the 2 sales, I added 3 pieces. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1526913[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Weimar Republic bronze &quot;Gustav II Adolf&quot; Medal 1932-Dated</b> MS64 Brown NGC, Kienast-473. 60mm.
