Norse Medals, Thick or Thin Silver???

    I never bought these types of medals before, but I wanted to collect some different historical medals, so I have bought several Norse medals, but I only saw "Thick" Silver. I was told it is very hard to find the "Thin" Silver and they're very expensive if you were to find them?

    Is there any truth to that? I am looking for some direction or perhaps opinions.
    Enjoy the pics!

    I believe you are correct. Nice looking medals. I want one but the price has kept me away.

    Yes the Thin Norse is of a smaller mintage of like 1K pieces. Where the Thick is higher.
    They are neat and there is 5 gold ones I believe also.

    I have three of these and they are all thick. From an unscientific experience-based survey, I would say I see ten thick for every thin.

    Thank you all for you messages! Yes, I don't think Thin Norse will be in my near Future..LOL!

    I do like the different design. They almost look like something you find when you're a kid at a Disney souvenir shop. hahaha.

    Wish you all well in you future searches.
