It's not modern, but it is a very PURDY medal.

I have 3 of these 77MM Award Medals from the World's Columbian Expo. This one still is in the aluminum case it was issued in with the award card. The other 2 are without case. The others in in for grading at NGC, one posted yesterday. For those of you who are keeping track of these things, I just made a (drum roll please)...

004 1892-3 IL E-90 (BZ) WORLD'S COLUMBIAN AWARD 77mm MS 67 BN MEDAL

Hi Marty,
I like the looks of it. It has nice rich colors going for it. I don't know what the h&!! it is but if you collect them it has to be worth a fortune

Here we have a nice piece of history and it drops like a stone!!!

finding one of these that fits the SC$ criteria for size in a grade above MS63 is a daunting task, the larger ones seem to be common by comparison.

What type of holder is that in? It looks like it has shellac on it.

It's purdy though.

That is so true, a HK-223 in MS67 would be HUGE! I made one in MS62 and it sold for over $200.
