VictoryBullion Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 09/16/2015 8:24 pm I hear there are a lot of counterfeit medals out there and I am very new at collecting medals, war medals especially, and I was wondering if these were authentic? If not, how can you tell they are fake? Report this Post to the Staff

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 09/17/2015 07:43 am I am new to medal collecting too. The first medal you posted is actually one I hope to pick up soon. WHen I looked up the first medal I bought on ebay to see if I got a good deal I noticed a few things. Firstly if you bought it from any former U.S.S>R. or Yugoslavacian countries I am sorry, it is a fake. Just like coins by from a reputable dealer. The fake medals from the east are poured into a cast and has a seam. With that in mind your medal (a cross of honor of the Germany Mother silver level) seems correct. Do you have the manilla envelope it came in? I new a guy who used to go to the Florencville collector club that would not touch Nazi because it was s o often faked but I find that if you buy it from a dealer you are set, stay out of pawn shops and flea markets. Sorry for the ramble but the Mother's cross (The only one I am familiar with) looks spot on. Report this Post to the Staff
VictoryBullion Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 09/17/2015 2:42 pm Thank you, Harmonica for the tips and info. I bought several medals in Hong Kong from a dealer that has been going to that coin/watch show for many years. Some of them I know now that are fakes (replica) but a few that are I am happy with. I don't think he actually realized they were fake himself. He is a very proud man of honor. He was mad and offered all my money back at the next show. A true gentleman! Report this Post to the Staff
