Thank you for this information! Just ordered a few. Had hoped one day to get them on the secondary market, much better to get from the museum. |

I recently had an inquiry from a fellow collector who was interested in this medallion. Does anyone have an idea of its value? I was not able to find any resales of this item to compare to. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Hard to say... limit to 500 pieces and none for sale. I would guess $100 to $200, depends on how bad you want it. I mean it's worth what someone is willing to pay. |

I was fortunate to purchase one of these medallions on eBay in January 2025 for $21.95. |
