I purchased my first ever medal in my numismatic years.
The reverse has the intricacy of a Jacque Wiener cathedral medal.
I’m a former St Louisan and Teddy Roosevelt fan !

Love the Weiner cathedral designs. They are fantastic and so is yours. Thanks for the showing @bidask.
I love medals! I wish I would have started on them earlier.
NICE pick up

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Slippery slope, man. Slippery slope. Once you go Exonumia, you get sucked in to all kinds of tempting stuff, and then you're a goner.
Me, I slid down that slope some time ago. Sweet surrender.
That's a great TR medal. I quite like the design.
Here is one that just landed at Newport Beach yesterday. I dunno if it will straight-grade or not. Cross your fingers for me. I think it might have had an old cleaning, but whether that will be deemed "market acceptable" or not, I don't know. It's a little bit lighter color and shinier in hand, but not terribly so.
In any event, I certainly thought the eye appeal was there, and it was reasonably inexpensive (about 70 bucks after shipping from Germany). Hope they don't "ineligible type" it.
Germany (Nuremberg): silver medal by Daniel Dockler the Younger, 1730; bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession
26 mm, 4.56 g, ex-Künker am Dom.
PS- of course with So-Called Dollars like that, you're still operating within a known series, and not completely slid down the slope into wild abandon.
Very nice medal... Teddy Roosevelt is a favorite for me....Cheers, RickO
I love the color and detailed artistic design. Good score!
Very nice pickup.
Congratulations!
That's a really neat medal with phenomenal detail on the rev. (I almost said "cool die crack!" before realizing I was seeing TR's pince-nez cord).
