oakleaf777 Posted March 7, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2019 Anyone see the above referenced CRE medal listed on EBay? At first glance, I thought maybe a Studley restrike; but on closer inspection, the lettering on the obverse and the stars on the reverse look uneven and crude. Looks like a forgery to me. Any other opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearmon Posted March 7, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 7, 2019 The dragon looks pretty detailed i would guess a restrike but I am a novice with medals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted March 7, 2019 Share #7 Posted March 7, 2019 Judging by the brooch and tone I would say restrike as well. Should be numbered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakleaf777 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted March 7, 2019 A close look at the stars on the reverse towards the bottom appears to me they are not symmetrical, or are my aging eyes deceiving me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCR79 Posted March 8, 2019 Share #9 Posted March 8, 2019 I would say that it was a 1950's or 60's Contract Medal - A good filler until you can obtain a mint made CRE Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
