1936 Olympic Medal for review

[Knight_ridergta]

Hello,

I have been offered this 1936 Olympic Medal, I know nothing about these so I wanted to make sure everything looked good. The seller is asking $100 which I think is a fair price, if anyone has any thoughts please say so!

Thanks

Can you post close-ups of the medal, front and back please? Is it magnetic?

Here are more pictures, it is not magnetic.

Hello,
it looks like a poor quality casting in a low melt metal to me.
All the best

Thanks for the comment, I am told the edges are smooth and no signs of any casting

No problem but if you magnify the pictures that you posted and if you look at the top right of the medal near to the ring I am fairly sure that I can see some blow holes there.
Might be my eyes but I don't think so
All the best

Thanks for the help, I told the seller I am going to pass as I want to be 100% sure.

You did the right thing, It look like a cast fake...
Go for a magnetic one instead...
