Leipeneier Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 4:26 pm Hello, Some help would be appreciated on these 2 medals. The first is a 1901 Buffalo Pan American Expedition medal. I can find other examples of it but none in silver like this one. Any more info on it would be appreciated. (32mm) The second is a Mexican medal paying homage to the various mints. I cannot find any other examples of it. It appears to be lead or white metal. (55mm) (Engraved by C. Ocampo G.) Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

I wonder if you could perform a specific gravity test on the first piece. Especially on the reverse, it kinda looks like plating wearing off the high points of the design. For the Mexican piece, please add a picture showing the edge along the top. Based on that bump there, I suspect that you have a key fob or pendant of some type that has had the loop removed. Thx.

Leipeneier Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 6:36 pm @spence @joewobblie The first medal has been XRF scanned and it is silver. When resizing the photos it added a bunch of green that isn't there in person. Do you know how I can access an example of the Porfirio Diaz medal online? I can't find any online examples.
