Debated on where to post this, Mods please move if needed. Don't have any real background, or reference materials, on medals. So, you medal experts take a look at this auction....http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=350192693182 I'm seeing the exact same medal I paid $49 for, but in a NGC slab, attributed as a King 389. Seller says it is R-6, which I assume is rarity. I have the original cardboard presentation holder and the small envelop the medal was originally delivered in. (photo below) My question is this thing really worth upwards of the $1,475 BIN or is he just fishing? ps. Sorry for the poor pic, it was the original EBay seller's pic.
Interesting - on heritage I found some other king- numbers, but not the 389. Do not know the difference and one of them came with a book. Sorry not any help, but it was fun googling it. Seems like there are more books that talk about lincoln centennial medals than the medals themselves.
Thanks for the effort Mark. I searched also with no luck. Somebody here probably has the King catalog and can help out.
