I have been looking for many years for one that is affordable and uncirculated. Yours is very nice looking.
I forget the rarity number but I think it’s much rarer.

My ancestors attended that fair but bought me nothing. At least my second great grandmother attended the Panama Pacific Expo in 1915 and bought her future great great grandson some SCD's there.
It looks like something additional was to be added to the reverse, perhaps the visitor's name by engraving. This may have been a project that never really got off the ground, hence the rarity of the pieces.
Is the metal type identified? Looks like it could be a silver alloy..... Cheers, RickO
Silver-plated Brass, R-7, 11-20 known. just looking at the picture I think MS62 is bit generous and I have seen others which were nicer looking, so don't give up searching. Shevlin should be able to locate one.
