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!!!!

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.

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.

You can read Jeff Shevlin's 2006 article about them on his site:

He includes an image of the die gouge -
