1904 GEM ST. LOUIS LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPO MEDAL OF ATTENDANCE

This superb gilt medal is in amazing BU condition, much nicer than any I have seen over the last 45 years (27 on ebay). These medals are quite scarce. Not rare, although the definition of rare is quite dubious. I have begun to use the simple test of "how often have I seen this medal on ebay, at auctions or at shows." If a collector were to say they see them almost one every month or two that would change my description.

I've probably seen only a dozen. I more than most collectors or sellers am on ebay reviewing what is for sale in all of the areas in which I sell or have academic interest.

I can say looking at the image of Queen Isabella, I do not recall seeing any that were struck so clearly and strongly.
