CM-11 United States Centennial: AE, WM and CU (gilt)

at least that's what I think I have here. I'm no expert in medals, but do like them.

I believe the pictured items represent bronzed copper (AE), white metal (WM) and
copper gilt (CU) versions of the CM-11 made to commemorate the United States
Centennial Exposition in 1876.

Diameter is 57 millimeters.

Yep, that's what you've got. Now all you need are the silver and gold versions!

Here's my trio:

David McCarthy had a gold one at one point. I'm guessing it's long been sold off, but you never know.
