    Scott your doing good.

    I had a buddy ask me the other day if I was getting any on the side, I told him I hadn't had any in so long, I didn't know they moved it to the side.

    Scott,

    do you grade your metals ???

    Jochen called this on XF.

    Grading the silvers is more appropriate than the dinner plate bronzes...in this case he is spot on with XF. Grading medals as UNC or any other circulation related grades is really moot since these don't actually circulate as coins do...

    This is a very nice example and great photo's too!!

    So "EF" for a medal grade means not worn at all like UNC would mean for a coin image

    Lusty Goetz! Got to give the man respect. He was one of the Masters of his time. And his medals look like they were struck just yesterday. But with a talent and a flare un-matched by anyone. By the way great photos.

    Auld........Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, the high points, nose, hats, on the metal are shinier(sp) then the rest of the metal which to me would indicate wear. I'm thinking that is why the seller indicated XF.


    Madame.........thanx
