The HK-301 copper issue is the scarcest composition of the design, aside from the unique Gold H-K 299a - and in Gem condition, I would expect it to be valued at the upper end of the price range that was published in the price supplement that was included in the 2nd edition of H-K. In the right venue, it could even double that. Big copper medals don't stand the rigors of the environment well, so a Gem of these medals that were distributed as souvenirs to fair goers would be an exception at this point in time.

Not sure what that even means as I have never seen a price guide for Medals! Care to put that into a dollar range!! Please excuse my ignorance
The supplement price range for BU is listed as $200-$400. So my opinion is in agreement with Pioneer. My remarks about greater potential in the right venue stand as stated.
I think it would sell for $400+ w/o too much trouble... especially if it looks nice. A very nice looking MS65BN example sold in Goldberg yesterday for $305.50 and I thought it was cheap... cheap enough to buy which I did. I haven't decided on a retail price, but probably somewhere around $450 or so and I already have a few customers I think will buy it at that price. And I didn't check the pop reports, but if 65RB is a top pop, I think that would add a little more to the value.
