    US Navy thick platchet China Service Medal


    Recommended Posts

    Hello all, I am going through my uncle's WW2 medals for remounting. I noticed his China Service Medal is about 1/8" or 3MM thick, much thicker than normal. Is this an early striking? Also is it worth more than the normal medals? Thanks George

    Well I got an answer off USMilitaria forum - it is an early post WW2 striking worth a little more that the later ones. While looking at this and my father's Philippine Liberation medal - I have come to the conclusion the US is and has been a Colonial/Imperialistic power and almost all it's medals reflect that, starting way way back.
