Hi All,
I'm not sure which section to put this item in for advice. Apologies if this is the wrong section.
........Advice Please!
I have a Karl Goetz 'Das Reich unter Adolf Hitler' Silver Medallion. It is in good condition, measures 36.0 mm and weighs 16gms. The medallion seems a reasonable example (possibly subjected to minor wear) although I have attached a really outstanding example from the internet that appears to be more detailed and sharp than my example.
please see
https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=467&lot=705
The size of mine appears to be correct (36mm) but the weight does not quite coincide with the example I have also attached. The example also attached is 19.7gms and mine is 16gms. AND the other example l has the makers name round the rim of the medallion and the silver proof 900F.....which my example does not have. I have tested my medallion and it does NOT appear to be silver. Does all this possibly mean my example is a fake (which I strongly suspect) or could it mean that mine is not as good an example as the other one attached.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Terry
