What is this? And why did it sell for so much?

While I don't have my reference on me (either Dean or Swoger), I believe that the mintage isn't all that small(in relation to other national commemorative medals). However, the mintage doesn't truly indicate how rare this piece is and there seems to be a hard core group out there that are now collecting these medals, and driving up their prices!
that. Cheers, RickO

As prior to your post if I'd seen this in a exonumia dealers junk bin at a show for $3.00 I would not have given it a single thought.

All it takes is two bidders with deep pockets who really want something. Considering that it's a modern medal that price does seem very high.
In this case it was three bidders who ran it up past one grand.

Looks like a $10 medal to me!

The reason it probably took the seller 3 years to find one is because no one thought it was worth the work involved to list one.
We'll now see how many surface after this?
I've been looking for a $2-3 pictorial token issued in 1974 for over 5 years.
I may have to visit flea markets in Arizona to find one.
Thanks for posting as this is interesting
