I can only find one sold listing on eBay (a BIN at $73) for this 44mm .999 Silver Medallic Art medal.
Another one I thought was neat yesterday. I'm guessing a lot of these got melted during one of the run-ups since the 60's? Probably not an exceeding rare item, but it's not like they are floating around everywhere. Over 2 ounces of silver, came in the original box with an info paper.
This is #4516 of 10,000
Just thought it was neat.

Great medal , esp. with the paperwork.
Why does the edge lettering say "United State Steel"?
Pamphlet says that's who presented the Unisphere:

@tyler267 Looking at the text of the paper, it seems United States Steel made and donated the stainless steel 'Unisphere' to the Fair.
I just this morning filled out my wife's b'day card for tomorrow.
"Today the World does revolve around you" it says inside.
She sang with our school glee club at that Fair inside the New York State Pavilion so I'm sure she'll enjoy it.

Those medallic art pieces are great. Really well done snapshots of American history. I have a bunch of bronze stuff of theirs and a few silver Apollo space mission pieces.
That is a great silver medal.....Nice find.... Cheers, RickO
