World Premiere!

More....post more. There is a lot of history in those coins that FilthyBroke and Zantetsuken are posting. I would love to sit down with you two, and just look at your guys collections.

Thanks, and it would be very cool to meet up one day and see in-hand a few of those beautiful talers you have posted here.  I haven't had the chance to share my collection outside of my forum pictures yet.

The mail just arrived, and to my surprise I now have the first of my budding medal collection.   This thing is massive (59mm)!  I see the allure of larger coins and medals now,  very cool!


This is a bronze medal commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Versaille, showing "peace" on the obverse and the gardens of Versaille on the reverse.

Thanks Stefanie,  it was just one of those "must-haves" if you know what I mean.

Now that is nice

Thanks, Don.  Here's one for you, I know you appreciate the city views-

This silver medal/plaque is 87mm, and quite hefty!

[FilthyBroke]

Oh, and it weighs in at over six ounces!

[regandon]

Very nice design. Yes, City Views are my fav.    WOW!! 87mm, now that is a large piece.

[FilthyBroke]

Thanks, I couldn't believe when it weighed in at 6.5 ounces, I have to wonder how these things can sell for so close to silver spot prices.  I'll admit that I don't know the purity, but most jetons are said to be about 95% silver, any ideas on the medals?

I wish I could help with an answer, but I do not know.
