I really like these, but I wonder sometimes if NGC can tell the difference between a business strike and a proof.
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

That we did!!!

Worth about $5 and if you are interested....I'll give you $6.
Marty, I really like the 3020318-002 coin the best!

Looks like it could be an original holder. What does the outside look like? What is the diameter of the medal? If it's 36mm or 50mm, the price can range from $200-$500 depending on grade and how many hairlines. If its 90mm, the price usually starts at $400 and goes up from there. Remember, these are "average" prices and exonumia prices vary widely.

Here it is opened -
Regardless of its value, I'll most likely keep it in this box.
The only other item I have related to the Columbian Expo is this receipt, which I suppose was given to members who helped fund the event.

To Cocoinut, that receipt could bring a pretty penny as there are a few Columbian Expo collectors out there who specialize in paper items.
