Gensui Posted April 26, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share 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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
