Owner's Description

ONLY (3) EXAMPLES OF THIS MEDAL GRADED BY NGC , AND (3) GRADED BY PCGS (5/2017). A popular and important piece, perhaps the first to portray the sport that would eventually become America's favorite pastime. Only 125 pieces were produced in white metal, this one with an overall dark gray patina and brighter highlights in the more protected areas. This medal is included in the book "100 Greatest American Medals and Tokens" by Q. David Bowers. Musante notes in his discussion of this piece that "many were carried as good luck pocket pieces and can show signs of rough handling". One of the earliest medals relating to baseball, and always in demand.
