JapanX Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Check this out guys. This medal was on sale at one of the Baldwin auctions. Obverse
paul wood Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Nick, do you think it's real? I have seen several copies and from the image on this site it is not clear enough to be 100% certain either way. All the best Paul
JapanX Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 it is not clear enough to be 100% certain either way. Same feelings here ...
coinbuyer1983 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 My apologies for reactivating this old thread, but this is what came up when I was searching in Google. I recently came across a medal that fits the description of what was determined to be a replica in this thread. However, I found a catalog online from Baldwin's Auctions in the UK that indicates that even if it was struck at a later date, it may still be of value (approx. $600+). So, I was hoping to get some additional feedback. I have attached images of the item in my possession. And, here is a link to the Baldwin's catalog that I found online: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=13&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj13PnKt-7VAhULhlQKHfPgDn4QFghZMAw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.baldwin.co.uk%2Fmedia%2Fcms%2Fauction-archive%2Fa316%2F07%20BALDWINS%20Argentum%20Auction%20-%20November2016%20-%2005%20-%20MILITARY%20MEDALS%20%2B%20BANKNOTES.pdf&usg=AFQjCNEbEfAu_elkewxymePjOIUP158GTA See page 7 of the PDF that the link will open up. There is definitely more indication online that what I have is a replica. Example, this looks like mine: http://www.warhobby.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=194 So I suppose the real question is: Do you think Baldwin's got duped? Or, is there potential value in my medal? I admit that theirs is in much better condition than my own, but what are your thoughts? Much appreciation for your help. I never knew there was an entire community devoted to this kind of stuff. I just happened to get my medals in a lot of coins I bought, posted in a coin forum and someone directed me here. I will create a separate thread for another item that is unidentified at the moment.
