Ph3s,

The first one (Siberia) looks convincing, but better scans are needed to tell for sure.

The second one (non-black earth) is a fake.

Is the non-black earth medal a so called 1993 fake? or a newly casted fake?

thanks and regads

Here are new taken photos. It's really difficult to scan or take a photo, they are so shiny so reflection kills small details :(

Andreas,

These are fairly recent fakes (about 1+ year). They are actually struck and definitely of high quality. Only minor details differentiate them from originals. :mad:

Ph3s,

Please send me large, full, hi-resolution scans of both medals by email.

Ph3s,

After looking at your hi-res scans, I am confident that your Non-black Earth is in fact GOOD :thumbsup

Lesson in case for all requesting opinions about genuineness of medals and orders: you will get only what the scans/pictures that you post allow us to tell. Make sure that you always post the largest and best possible quality scans/pics, and use all the space that Art allows!
