OT: Goetz Opus 102 Plaque Portrait medal

cacheman

I thought I better OT this thread as this portrait medal doesn't really fit into the numismatic nor exonumia realm but I wanted you all to see it.

OPUS 102 "ELSA GUBE" Portrait medal, Rare, 1906, Cast AE, 70mm X 95mm plaque. Mrs. Gube was the wife of the Munich engraver Gube for whom Goetz worked after returning from Paris in 1904.

Very nice Scott, and I don't find it to be OT. I assume that it's one-sided (i.e. nothing on the reverse)?

You're just trying to make me jealous and wish I'd chose other than not to bid against you, aren't you? Well, it's working!!

cacheman

Yes Steve, it is uniface.

Yes Askari that was my primary intent for posting...heh heh

I am becoming concerned with another piece that was mailed one week before this piece that I still haven't received...it was mailed on November 20th...anyone know when I really should get worried? It is a nearly a one of a kind Opus 10 Moltke/Vahalla in UNC!!!

Askari

I sure hope it turns up soon!

Oh man! Can't wait to see that one in a large format!

Either can I, I just hope it gets here. It is 80mm in diameter and looked beautiful from their cataloge images. Was it you Trozau that was looking for this one? Someone asked me about a month ago if i had seen one and at the time I hadn't. I said I would keep an eye open after I acquired one for myself. Was that you, or someone else? S

Another great Goetz addition to your set.

Cacheman, I like your medals and find them very On-Topic. I appreciate your sharing them with us.
