First post

Hello everyone.
I have frequented the U.S. coin forum for several years. I know there are many members here that never venture over there.
Since my interests lie more in the world medals realm, I thought I would stop in to say hello.

And since I'm here I'll post a new purchase. Just arrived today. Not the nicest around but I like her, rim ding and all.
The price was more than reasonable as well. image
That doesn't happen with the Wiener medals much any more.

    Very nice. Welcome, and don't forget the new guy has to bring cookies.

    They are tough to find at a reasonable cost without being in really bad condition, especially the popular ones such as your Winchester Cathedral medal. image

    Welcome from a newbie! We have a wanted poster up here at the shop for a Westminster Medal that went missing from our display case several years ago. Rim ding on that one too.

    Welcome Flatwoods.

    Is that a pattern Weiner medal? It seems to be missing legends on the sides of the reverse.
    I have seen another similar one without legends and always wondered about it.

    Edited to add: Here is the one I have seen that I thought was a pattern. These normally have an inscription at the bottom reverse. I have seen only one other like this besides this one (total of 2). All others have the inscription.

    Nice Wiener image














    (I've been dying to say that image)



    Seriously, though, very nice--the cathedral/architecturals can be truly awesome. Pictures are always appreciated, so says the hypocrite that rarely posts any.

    An interesting observation. One I never really thought much about.
    Many of the medals in this series have an inscription on the reverse but many do not.

    You can see most of them here. Wiener medals

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. Please don't show too many of your world medals. I have enough to keep me busy (and broke) without adding any more series.
