That is cool !!! The obverse is reminiscent of some medieval stuff I've seen.

I had a chance to get a set of these and passed.

Interesting, as they have only been offered once by the primary Goetz auction house once in the past 15 years...

BTW, I just placed a very large complaint to the auctionhouse about these showing up in versilbert (silver-plate) as opposed to what was listed in the auction catalog as 'silberabschlage' (silver)...I mean these are no less rare but obviously their intrinsic and market value is less.

Stack's had a set up for auction last year.

The same sale as the large Goetz collection?

cosmicdebris · July 11, 2005 7:12AM

Yep the February 2004 mail bid sale.

cosmicdebris · July 11, 2005 7:24AM

It was lot 700 and had all (4) pieces it only sold for $40.00 and I did not bid

Nice looking token!

Those were iron examples which, I assume, were more common than the copper/brass/versilbert set. It would have still been nice to have it at that price.

I go back through that sale and marvel at the weak prices the entire Goetz sale brought. I think I ended up with 40 or so medals from this sale and I wish I had gotten another 40 because you can't touch a single piece for double or triple what they sold for such a short time ago. I remember wondering who the newbie was that was spending $1500 on the large Olympic piece was...I had gotten mine for $400 severak months earlier...they are now going for $1500 and higher. Thank God I've got two of them...

I'm still waiting for my Schaaf 320G2 3 Mark pattern to show...maybe tomorrow.

Just don't make me wait a year for an image of it.

cacheman · July 11, 2005 10:06AM

I have a hard time completing images of patterns because they are never as good as the pattern looks in real life...I'm anal that way...

elverno · July 11, 2005 10:44AM

I really like this piece. I think the iron examples would be interesting at the very least. The Goetz market has certainly moved quickly, much more quickly than the Napoleonic medal market thank God. I would think that a refund of a portion of your purchase price would be in order because of the mistake on the metal...

cacheman · July 11, 2005 11:58AM

I split the difference with the auctionhouse and they gave me a hundred euro credit towards my next successful bids...

I agree, nice design!
