Owner Comments:

THERE ARE ONLY (5) OF THIS TYPE GIVEN A FULL NUMBER GRADE ACCORDING TO THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 9/2023. THERE IS (2) MS 61'S AND (2) MS 62'S AND (1) MS 62 PL OF THIS TYPE LISTED IN THE CENSUS.

THE RIM DAMAGE IS VERY MINOR JUST PAST 9 O'CLOCK ON THE OBVERSE OF THE MEDAL. OTHERWISE, THIS EXAMPLE WOULD BE TOP POP FOR THE TYPE IN MY OPINION.

A "RAW MINT STATE" EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE WAS SOLD BY STACKS BOWERS AUCTIONS IN 2019 FOR $504.00. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE THAT I CAN FIND SOLD IN ANY MAJOR AUCTION IN THE PAST. THIS IS A VERY DESIREABLE TYPE FOR MEDAL AND ELGIN WATCH COLLECTORS,
