TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 12/03/2023 10:46 am Can anyone tell me the weight and diameter of a 1962 brass bashlow restrike? Trying to determine if this is a modern copy or a 1962 restrike. Thank you!!!! Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 12/03/2023 1:21 pm H&K references neither weight nor diameter. They do say that the Bashlow brass examples are 2 1/2 mm thick and have a die gouge between C and O in Continental. The Goldine medals are listed at 38mm and the brass examples should be the same size. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 12/03/2023 1:31 pm Thank you Bump. This one does measure 38 mm and 2.5 mm thick, Not sure I see a die gouge between C and O. Not sure where I should focus in on. Report this Post to the Staff
