Can you give me a 'yay' or 'neigh' on this, or the one above it, please?

Eric,

Both seem to be OK. IMHO, given its sorry shape for such a common medal, the first one is not worth bothering (except as a freebie, of course :D).

You realize these are a minimum of about $30 right now? I've been searching, on and off, for about 6 months and there's no good deals on them.
PS. 45 at Igor's boutique. :)

Eric,

I maintain that this is a common medal.

Travel-north,

Do you have better pictures of that medal? As is, I don't like the pits and the weak details on the obverse, which might be indicative of casting.
