JapanX Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Not to my knowledge, but of course they can exist
Gensui Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 A couple of rare originals for our gallery I would prefer my own gallery... Nice pieces, Nick!
JapanX Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 I would prefer my own gallery... Who wouldn't? :beer:
JapanX Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 I am sure that many of you remember this medal Wrong ribbon, wrong box, but nevertheless original medal ...
JapanX Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Rings a bell? No?! Check out this thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/43766-the-holy-grail-is-this-authentic/?hl=taiwan#entry404876 And this is how this medal looks nowadays.
JapanX Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Same terribly looking ribbon... Same wrong box... At least the medal is original
JapanX Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Another rarity for our gallery (many thanks for these exellent HQ photos Rich )
JapanX Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Very impressive quality (this was the very first medal!)
Gensui Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Very impressive quality (this was the very first medal!) 3.JPG 4.JPG Nick, Is my understanding is correct, that there are differences in the stamping of this medal? Or just the same stamping tools, which are hardly used as time went by on and didn't had a "sharp/clear" stamping. Do anybody know, if there were more then one set of stamping tools for this medal? Considering the number of awarded (produced?) medals, hard to believe more then one stamping set... BR, Chris
JapanX Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 Several different dies for 3 677 minted medals?! Is this possible? Nick, Is my understanding is correct, that there are differences in the stamping of this medal? Hmmm ... I think everything inside zulässige Abweichung. Nein?
Gensui Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Reverse ...would love to see a picture without / with removed ribbon...
Gensui Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Hmmm ... I think everything inside zulässige Abweichung. Nein? Depending on the quality of the stamping tools, isn't it? We are talking about a medal, which was minted in the 1870s. Maybe a time, where quality WAS an issue?
JapanX Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 Depending on the quality of the stamping tools, isn't it? Of course Personally I think that all these micro differences can be explained by wearing of stamp (or medal itself). IMveryHO of course.
