Washington Medal Baker 113 Bronze?

I believe this is a Washington medal circa 1861 by George H. Lovett. I can not find out much about this; all the examples I have found are white metal not bronze. Any one have a link or some information about this medal, value? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

    I have a brass coin with the Washington monument on the obverse that I purchased on the streets in Washington D.C. 10 years ago. The coin was in the same type holder as the one you have.

    So it might be junk or not?

    IMHO it's a $3-5 medal.
