    Both are very nice and reminds me that I need to get one of these cool looking medals.
    I saw a color toned thick one the other day at a local coin shop and I think I'll get it.

    A very nice example. I have often wondered what would have been if it were not listed in the Red Book?
    Your thoughts?
  • WWW, I looked at one at the Long Beach show that was a Thin MS65 rainbow toned. The dealer wanted $3850!

  • wingedliberty, Who knows what the value would be? I really never heard of the Norse Medal until about a year ago! Of course I was concentrating on colonials.

  • MFH, well the thin wasn't exactly what I wanted but the dealer promised me that he would take this coin as a trade when a "white" thin comes in! I will keep everybody informed when/if this happens!

    Jim,

    From what I've heard there arn't that many really nice white Thins on the market. My NGC 65 Thin is the nicest I have ever seen, and its blast white, but I'm sure if crossed into a PCGS holder, it'd be downgraded to a 64 due to politics. The dealer who sold it to me didn't recommend crosing it either.
    Its one of the few NGC commemorative "coins" that I have in my set.
