What's The Value Of This 1820 Medal??

I know this is not a coin,but It caught my interest. It's a religious medal of Mary that has the date 1820. Can anyone tell me how much it's worth? Thanks B12

I would almost bet the date on it is 1830 as I have quite a few of these exact medals some sterling and others that are not that have the 1830 date (this is not actually when they were made). If you are sure the date is 1820 let me know and I can talk to someone who I am sure will know.

Yea definitely.1820. So your sure that's not when it was made? B12

 

OK I will check with the "EXpert" I know and let you know. Here is a photo of one of the 1830 datyes I have.

 

Ok. B12

 

Hi,
Go To: http://www.amm.org/medal.htm
for the info on the medal.. They are sold all over the place and are not at all unusual. They were not struck in 1830, there are not dated 1820. The 1830 date is commemorating the event described.
Have Fun,
Bill

 

OH!Ok. Thank's for telling me what the date meant Bill. One other thing.If 1830 was the earliest date,why do I have a 1820? B12

 

Hi,
Simple, It's not a 2, take a closer look. If it looks like a 2, it's a damaged 3. They are all dated 1830, they are a souvenir sold today in every Christian shop in the country.
Have Fun,
Bill

 

I was also told it was probablly just a damaged date or even one some one altered on purpose. You can ussually pic them up for a couple of bucks if sterling there a little more.

 

Yea...you maybe right.It is kinda hard to tell. IF IT IS A 1820 would it be rare or worth anything? B12

 

Darn!! please ignore.

 

I was in a local antique shop and they had a couple of these in sterling for, I recall, about $4

 

Ok. B12

 

What a minute! Do you mean in 1820 or in 1830 Cloudsweeper99? B12

 

To tell you the truth, I didn't look at the dates that carefully. But it was the same medal with an 1800s date. They had a box of small sterling religious medals and there were several of this type.

 

Ok. B12
