hello everyone,
i had a seller recently offer me a large version of a  king george 1935 silver jubilee medal for 175 dollars.
I scoured the web and only found one listing of the same coin

Dimension are size :57mm weight 85.2 grams.
My doubts are whether its real and if its genuine, whether its worth a buy
Thanks in advance
Manan. :)

The Jubilee and Coronation medals were usually issued in two sizes, and this appears to be the standard large silver medal for the 1935 Jubilee, as was the one you linked to.

The large size medals came in a leather case and the small (about 32 mm) came in a red card box. I found several of them in the prices realized for London Coins auctions, between £170 and £200 with cases (as well as the small gold version, but that was £1,800 ;) )

I'd say it is probably genuine, but if I collected these I think I'd avoid it because of the edge damage and the lack of case.
