[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1845785, member: 29581"]The break down is 11 gold, 150 white metal(or pewter) and 40 silver. This one is the silver issue, as the bottom of the reverse of the white metal ones only have the designer's name THOMASON, the silver has C.C. WRIGHT SC, 1826, PRESENTED BY THE CITY OF NEW YORK. Also, the prices you mentioned do they include the original maple wood box, and Collden memoir? It's extremely rare to have the medal and the wooden box, and as I mentioned above, Heritage has only sold 2 of the silver medals with the box, and the one past auction I found on Heritage it went for $9200, and that had the box, was in GU, and also included the memoir of Caldwallader Collden. The weight specs are Gold: 43.67 grams; Silver: 29.9 grams; White Metal: 185.1 grams. From what I've found out, the wooden box, made from a piece of maple that went from Erie to NYC on the Seneca Chief, makes up for a lot of the value because not many of those boxes have survived the years.[/QUOTE]
