    I found this in a pile of junk recently, kind of cool except for the hole and blob on Chris's nose. Any thoughts on value?

    It is from the Columbian Expo, 1892-93.

    Held in Chicago, there are tons of collectibles.

    I don't have my reference handy, but it is called the "Lords Prayer" medal.

    holed as made, originally there was a ribbon and pin.

    nice piece.

    Not rare, in fact, for the type, common.

    Thanks, My daughter runs a non profit cat shelter and had a yard sale fund raiser last week, I helped her set up and found it in a pile of junk. I'll probably put it up on ebay and see if I can get her a couple of bucks. I have the '93 .50 cent commem in 64 with some real nice blue rim toning but don't know much about the tokens from the expo.

    I ahve the reference for them, some where, but the values are meaningless, it was printed 20+ years ago
