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

    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.

    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. ;)

    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).
