A few Electrotype George Washington Medals I won a long while back

Finally had time to take them out and image them.
The first on is a very unusual electrotype as it is extremely well made. I almost thought it might be a
uni-face medal, because even the reverse is super clean.

The second one I had already an example but not as well made. Although not the nice red/brown or deep chocolate
look that I like its a milk chocolate but much better detail......Even a finger print on the obverse....lol

Thanks @Zoins , yes IGC will slab these. I forget what they say......I think it’s for learning or something
like that.

Neat but for some reason the GW's neck visually on this electrotype seems stretched further than the original and restrike Sansom medals.

Yet artist did portray him as having had a giraffe kinda neck.

@Broadstruck , my fault....I forgot to state which medal it is.
"1797" (1816) Washington Halliday Medal. Bronze. 53.5 mm. By Thomas Halliday. Baker-70C. Rarity-7. Plain Edge.
I uploaded mine and the one from Stacks, note the Halliday under arm.

Side by side comparison. The real one on left, mine on right

I made an overlay so you can see. I start with mine overplayed on the original. I started slow, then went faster for comparison. I'm really wondering if its an electrotype as the backside is not a shell. or even filled in for that matter
its a solid hunk.
