    Buy them raw and send in for grading. With your skills, you should do great.

    ldhair reacted to Sandon in What does the US Mint mean by "Impression"   
    In other words, the number of "impressions" means the number of pieces made in the indicated metal.  If they were coins instead of medals, we would refer to the number of pieces "struck", rather than "impressed", by the dies.

    When a die is pressed into metal, moist cardboard, etc. it is called an "impression." Same as "strike" in coin usage.

    Also....remember to put your hands in the gloves first.... I made the mistake of not doing that and some of my 1860s proofs got scratched -- but just the gold ones....
