Art Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 When the medals were originally made, how were they offered for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goetzdude Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 When the medals were originally made, how were they offered for sale? Goetz created catalogs with available material listed for sale. He also began to get quite a following when he started producing the satirical series from WWI. Word of mouth via numismatic circles also helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
