best I can tell, this is CM-11 (per Julian's book on medals of the US Mint) in Gilt. Size is 57.6 mm and weight is 103.9 grams. The color in my photos is pretty accurate.

(edited to change my guess of bronze to the correct answer: Gilt)

    Very nice Medal.


    Is that a wardrobe malfunction on that lady on the REV? Looks like she got stung by a bumble bee.

    I was at ANA, I've been fishing off the coast of Kalifornia, and I will travel to NH soon. Life is very good, thanks for asking! image

    Very nice. If the color is anything near accurate, that's gilt rather than bronze. Gilt is rarer anyway, as I recall...

    I agree. Nice medal. Looks gilt to me.

    excellent, thank you. The color is darn near accurate, so let's call this one gilt. I have lots to learn, but I buy medals I like and learn about them later image
