<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 637072, member: 9474&quot;]Yep, sure of the number.&nbsp; I also sent a message to Tom Hoffman with the HK So-called dollar site along with pictures, which I will post below.&nbsp; After conversing via email with him, it is most likely the HK-398 and not the HK-1029 as expected.&nbsp; He had me weigh it and get some other info from me about the medal. I was basing my assumption of the medal number on the color of the medal.&nbsp; It does not look like any bronze that I have ever seen.&nbsp; But he said that a cleaned medal could have the look of gold.&nbsp; If you were to take any $20 double eagle coin and place it next to it, it has the same color, but it clearly does not have the weight if it were gold.&nbsp; I have not heard back from Tom, but based on our first communication and me weighing it, I am sure that this is bronze not gold.&nbsp; I must say for about a good hour or so I was fairly excited.&nbsp; The medal is not mine, its a friend&#039;s and he asked me to send it in to NGC to be graded.&nbsp; But I wanted to do some research first.&nbsp; Pictures are below.&nbsp; Here is something neat also, the obverse image is clashed on the reverse. I remember reading somewhere that this is a fairly common phenomenon with medals or privately minted coins.&nbsp; The one slabbed is what I expected it to look like.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for getting back with me Frank with the number of gold medals made.&nbsp; I looked all over the internet and although I found enough info on the medal, I did not find any mintage info.&nbsp; :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
