Hi all,

So my brother gets to travel allot. He went to Geneva Switzerland and found this metal. We did a little research and all we could find was that it is a silver metal and could be a museum piece. If anyone has any information on this thing and what the value would be please tell me? Also is this something PCGS would authenticate or grade?

Thanks all,

Keep @ it and HH!!

"Is there a Red Book of medals?
No such price guide book on medals exists. It can’t be done. First there are so many medals in existence (more than coins, but less than paper money issues). And there can be so many variations, like an inscribed name if it is an award medal or if the medal is mounted in some way. Less so by condition, since medals do not circulate, but moreso. perhaps, by the finish or patina (but more on that below).

The fact there is no standard price book, however, can be to your advantage. If there was a published price guide you would have to pay “listed” prices for all the medals you buy. The seller would have access to their current published value and this is what he would charge. As it is today, sellers often don’t know what a medal is worth to you, the collector. I have heard so many stories – and I could tell a few myself! – of buying medals and medallic art at a fraction of their true value. Because there is no medal Red Book."

And for the record, most of the people of Ithaca and Central NY in general, are laid back and respectful. Even in times of economic crisis.
