Seller's photo's. I was the only bidder at $15.00; branched out from silver only, circ issues, size 21-23. Actually hope to post a mini-grading set soon for circ issues... Got it to match my avatar medal.
Anyways... here are the options? I would do a poll, but don't have time, so I appreciate your replies.
HK-299 Silver. 33mm.
HK-299a Gold. Unique.
HK-300 Gold-plated Bronze.
HK-301 Copper.
HK-302 Yellow Bronze.
HK-303 Bronze.
HK-304 Gilt.
(info credit from So-called Dollar, online reference guide, an awesome labor of love!)
Raw, in hand, looks, feels, smells, tastes (not really) like Cu, but I have not seen much brass in all honesty. I would not buy a brass medal knowingly, but did I?
Thank you for your help,
Don

Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

You, (or I) would have paid much more had I seen it too.

Hoard the keys.
Until then, my rule of thumb is to go by color:
Whitish: Silver, aluminum, pewter, or white metal (easy to tell apart)
Yellowish: Gold, brass, or gilt/gold-plated (easy to tell apart, as long as you don't care about the difference between gilt versus gold-plated)
Brownish: Copper or bronze (impossible to tell apart)
Based on the picture, this one looks yellowish, so I'd call it brass.

I'd say for the price paid you did o.k. no matter what.
Hopefully will get the others posted here before too long.
