Title: Medals Purchased
Post by: Zohar444 on December 26, 2009, 07:00:15 PM
Picked these up on the very cheap. I liked the detail and look of them in spite of not being a Medal collector other than Swiss Shooting Medals.
These are very thick slabs (much thicker than a standard NGC slab) of 19th century French (and one Bohemia) Medals.

Anyone know anything about them other than commemorating known people (and their death)? I would categorize this as another impulse buy for me.

Very nice find. I wish I knew something about them to be of help.
