[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3022197, member: 71642"]What?? This thread was on page two--unacceptable! I do have a new medal, well a re-used obverse of one I have an original of as well. It's from France, and thus hallmarked on the edge, which is a cornucopia and the metal content. Medals produced in 1996 and on are supposed to have the date next to the cornucopia, so I would say it was produced a bit earlier than that and then engraved. The super-duper nice part is two fold. The other edge mark (didn't get a picture of it yet) is [B]1argent[/B]. So, yes silver, and the 1 means it should be .925 fineness. And, if the seller's weight is accurate (my coin scale only goes to 100 grams which it exceeds, and the seller listed it at 171 grams), this means I got it for almost 20% BELOW MELT :D. Needless to say, I am pleased. [ATTACH=full]751769[/ATTACH] My original medal: [ATTACH=full]751770[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
