http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230157920022&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=013 I am thinking about bidding on this 'Washington at Tappan NY' medal auction. I know nothing about medals. The only reason I am considering bidding on this auction is that I live about two blocks from this place and I think it would be neat to have something like this. The minimium bid is $99. Is this a fair price? The only documentation on this medal is this: http://www.coins.nd.edu/WashToken/WashTokenText/1860-69e.html
taurus: I don't know a lot about these either, however, for $99 that is a heck of a lot of history that you are receiving, and Lovett was a great token & medal creator. Good luck.
$99 is a steep price but I think it would be neat to own a medal signifying something close to my home. I just wanted to know if the price was fair. Am I going to see the medal being sold for $20 in a few months.
I doubt that you'll see it for $20, try to search for closed auctions. I tried for closed/completed items on eBay, none listed. good luck.
