Thank you for all the answers so far. I am still mulling over the medal.

I like it. How "big" is it?

It has a diameter of 50mm and weights around 70 grams

I see. The reason I ask is because I want to avoid sinking money in a medal, that others may perceive as damaged.
I know that "you should buy what you like", but there is no point in paying more than what is something worth.

How much is the one worth? Dunno, but maybe you can help me gauge whether the price may be right.

The price is around 140$, while medals is similar condition go on auctions for circa 240$. But the most important thing to me, is whether it's scratched or not.

And thank you for the welcome!

Hi,

As I I am very fond of big medals. That is why I could not possibly overlook this one, which I had found. The price is pretty good,
however I am unsure about damage, that is present on the obverse. I am almost certain that they are scratches,
but I would like to ask for your opinion on the matter. Also, would you buy the medal, or pass (based on its condition).










Cheers
