Paris 1900 Official plate
A rare gold-plated bronze medal / plaque, in its original case, given at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, which incorporated the Second Modern Olympiad. I would say that it was in upwards of extremely fine (EF) condition, but please take a good look at my photographs and form your own opinion of its grade. The case is quite worn and a bit stained on the outside, but in much better condition internally.
Probably a bit high. My estimate would be USD300.
Tradera
1912 Participation medal
A great opportunity to buy a 1912 participation medal at Tradera. Estimate should be 150 USD (1500 SEK).
