I can't wait to get this one!

It has been quite a long time since I purchased any medals from one of my French connections. I spotted this one the other day, and was awed by the relief which gives the scene depth. Despite the fact that it has been about 16 months since my last purchase from Fabrice, I contacted him and asked if he would consider accepting $200 for it. Sure! Hurray! It's mine! From past experience, it usually takes 7-10 days for delivery. For now, all I have are the photos in the listing, but I just had to tell somebody about it.

This medal from 1929 is struck in bronze, is 81mm and weighs 6.9 ozs.

Nice medal Chris. While this is not my area of expertise, it certainly has beautiful detailing. I can certainly relate on how you feel. It always feels good to find and item that you want, especially when it's one that you've been searching for for a long time. Can't wait to see your own photos for this. Good luck.

That should fit nicely in your collection, cool find!  At 6+ ounces/81mm, that one is a whopper! I guess slabbing is out of the question.

FB, didn't you know that NGC added some new oversized slabs to their line last year? Here's the link:

Besides that, they also started grading jetons, tokens and medals that are listed in the Mitchiner book. I think some of yours would look awesome in one of the oversized slabs.

Well, that's news to me.  I don't keep up with what the TPGs are doing, but that's good information.  I know that ANACS used to do jetons, but it's not really worth the fees, so I just use CoinWorld holders.  Now if NGC started a registry section....or do they already have one for jetons?

I don't know, but I'll look into it for you.
