Karl Goetz auction on Heritage

[brauereibeck 1]

Has anyone been following the debate regarding the Karl Goetz auction on Heritage? Looking at the reverse hub for the Paris Dictat 1921 medal I couldn't help noticing how rough the detail was. You'd think that the hub would be pin sharp even taking into account accidental damage and corrosion.

Here's the same detail from an actual medal.

Yes, I've been following these. The rust on some of them has led to the loss of much detail. There has also been some controversy surrounding their origin and the specific return policy on them.

On the hub the dot between T and D appears to be elongated although this could be a lighting effect.

I agree, it does! Have you got the hub in hand?
