            And these were never cast. Medals like this are always stamped with a die.

              Yes its the well known fake and originals were always Diestamped.

              Sounds like the dealer is making a story to make a sale.

                Let me translate from dealer speak into real speak.

                Dealer says

                "This is the stamped out variant, which are always brighter than the darker cast made medals"

                and the translation

                "The normal fakes are simple cast copies, this fake is actually die stamped like the originals"

                or perhaps

                " I know nothing, I hear nothing, I see nothing"

                or even

                "I got burned by this piece of crap now it is your turn"


                I would find yourself a better dealer

                  Thanks again Guys
