I just received these 2 which I like. The St. Gallen has strong mirror like brightness seeming that it had been dipped, yet not the harsh hairlines one would have expected. What do you make of the look of this medal? Cleaned or simply mirror-like. Thank you.

If the photo represents the brightness your describing then it looks lightly polished to me not neccessarily dipped. The field right of the bear on the reverse looks likes some rub lines to me ... are these visible in hand or is it just lighting.
