Victoria medal 60th anniversary - 95 gram - diameter 76mm - AUNC - tin ?
I like this medal because on the back all the colonies in 1897 of the british empire are mentioned in little cartouches.
I can buy it, but both the seller and me have no clue about the value.
any ballpark estimate ?

Thank you

    nice look- No idea as to rarity or value- does it have a box?

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    That would be pretty much an instant impulse buy on my part, regardless of price. Which is why I am always broke.

    Sorry, no idea on value. I wish I had a reference for those sort of medals. I know a lot of medals were issued during the Jubilee, but I haven't seen any of this detail. Maybe $100-200?

    1897 60th Year of Reign Commemorative

    BHM 3511 Eimer 1816

    Rarity "Rare"

    Silver 107 gms by F. Bowcher

    55 Shield back, Spinks manufacture and distributor.

    British Historical medals by L.Brown

    My Medal

    Quality Pieces are in the $200+ range for the silver. Less for the White Metal and bronze

    It comes in Gold Silver Bronze and White metal , Oxidized and Gilt.

    White Metal is a base alloy containing high proportions of Tin and Pewter.

    If that is a white metal piece , considered Rarity" Common" $80-110 Good luck, hope this helps.
