Owner Comments:

Iridescent shades of blue, red and orange adorn both the obverse and reverse of this medal. When the medal is rotated under a light the effect is beautiful, however I was unable to capture the iridescence in my photos. The surfaces also have a much smoother, glass like look to them then the photos depict. The NGC pop for this medal in MS-65 is 2/0 making this example tied with one other for the title of finest known. Shevlin & Hyder’s book “So-Called Dollars Volume 1: United States Expositions” list the overall rarity of this medal as R8 (5-10 known).
