I posted a thread earlier with a $7.50 Columbian Half as my consolation prize for not buying anything at Long Beach. In reality, when I left the show I knew I wanted to buy this Wiener Cathedral Medal. I had no idea what it is worth so I nuke sniped it. These are seller pics as the auction just closed a while ago.
There is one I'd rather have. Here is an image of it I borrowed from a board member.

Probably means I overpaid. Like I said, I have no idea what it is worth. I paid less than a PCGS MS64 common date large cent. --jerry

Which one do you have? Care to post a photo? --Jerry
I have 1/2 dozen or more of the Cathedral medals. I know of 2 series, Belgian Cathedrals which are smaller at 50mm and European Cathedrals at 60mm.
As Type2 stated you did not necessarily overpay - I limit myself to no more than $100 for these which is why I am a underbidder more often than not and why I have more of the Belgian Cathedrals than the larger European ones (which also tend to be the more popular medals)

<< <i>Yes, things have to be very vanilla now. You have a good point. But remember, these medals are in a whole 'nother class: less than 1000 production, hundreds or thousands of hours of artistic labor, actual 3d--not suitable for circulation, and a weight in ounces,not grams. Size: Huge. --Jerry >>
True, but this one is close to a full pound in hand.
For size, I took a pic next to a Washie....a MS 32S may I add
I want that set in the original box... [insert drool here].

<< <i>Those are awesome, I now have a reason to for a new acquisition... time to go back to coin shows.. maybe even ebay. Cheers, RickO >>
Be careful buddy, these are really addictive.
The talent of these metallurgists and artists is incredible.
This Pope Clement was made in 1730-talk about talent.

I remember in art class in High School, we had to try to draw a 3-d scene of a street, and well... there's a reason I'm not an artist today - but that is some spectacular work.
