j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 12:34 pm Thick, to the best of my knowledge from research. Do you have a way to determine that without a scale? Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 6:30 pm Chaos, really? there's barely a scratch or any other circulation marks on either of them. I'm surprised. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 10:03 pm I couldn't find an actual thickness measurement but the thick planchet should weigh 19.7 grams. The thin is the rarer of the two and I believe it is more of a coin stock thickness while the thick is more of a medal stock thickness. It is a good looking medal with nice luster. With a few spots and possibly a little bit of rub(pics are a bit out of focus to sharper pics might resolve that) I would call it a nice AU. Thanks for showing it as I believe it is the first one I have seen posted in my 2 1/2 years here(I have seen them at shows though) Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 02:06 am Thanks, Bio...it's far thicker than coin stock...probably as thick as Three Cents, anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 07:10 am These are EXTREMELY hard for me to grade from photographs. They both could be anywhere from AU-55 to MS-63 or so. In almost all those I've looked at in TPG holders, I've wondered how the graders came to their conclusions. There's a pewter-y flatness to the medal's color that sometimes looks like wear. I wouldn't be able to guess fairly without these in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 11:05 am I agree, half...since theyre not really "coins" and there really is no reason to "circulate" them, it's hard for me to judge, too; even in-hand. Could be AU or could be MS63 with a ding or two. Report this Post to the Staff
