Wow !!!
Incredible collection

And ... Welcome to CoinPeople

Thanks...

I've visited your website before. You have quite an amazing collection.

Welcome to CoinPeople!

Thanks...there are certainly some familiar faces here. I hope to avoid the slabbing and grading frenzy that took over the other forum and get back to good history and imaging.

Can't go wrong with Goetz!

I like the Geotz medals. Welcome to CoinPeople. Glad you decided to stay and post some of your neat information.

Very nice!! Beautiful pieces!

Could you explain this one: K 135(a)? How did that effect on the reverse come about?

Great medals, great medailleur! Thanks for the link!

Hello Sir Sisu, Yes. of course.

K-135(a) is a variety of Goetz' cast piece 'Austrian and German Alliance' This piece, K-135(a), has a different reverse and was proof struck on bronze planchets. Goetz incorporated a rectangular proof field into the design of the reverse. My photography leaves a lot to be desired but it shows this field reflecting source light. Additionally, the piece is beautifully toned. Yes, bronze can tone, and you can see a little of the same thing on the obverse fields too. All devices are frosty as you would expect from a silver proof coin.

This piece is very rare and has always been falsely attributed to C. Drentwett/Augsburg as evidenced in Zetzmann #3015. The obverse of this medal was muled and used on at least three other medals too.

Thank you for the explanation.


I am one that easily digresses from my main area of collecting when I come across something exquisite. And I am being tempted here.

Not too much slabbing and grading frenzy here. And, as you can tell, gorgeous medals like yours are well admired. Like Anton, I have been to your site before. Those medals are amazing and your pictures really bring them out!

Welcome to CoinPeople, btw.

Thanks Stujoe...I see many improvements here from the 'other place' and look forward to hanging my hat here for awhile.

I just had several shipments, totaling 25 new medals, arrive in the past several days. After cataloging and imaging I'll make sure the info gets posted here FIRST. Thanks!

Oh, those are... Welcome aboard, Goetzdude!

Welcome indeed! As some people know yours is one of the finest, if not the finest Goetz collections anywhere. Great to see you here.
