Condition
Overall Status: Very good pre-owned vintage condition.
Details: Both medallions feature remarkably crisp, sharp relief details and fully legible, crisp lettering on all faces. The gold-toned Lourdes medal retains a high-shine finish with only minor edge rubbing, light handling lines, and typical warm-toned oxidation spots along the high-contact rims. The St. Gerard pewter-tone finish features an excellent, deliberate dark factory patina in the recessed lines that emphasizes the text beautifully.
