Another medallion - big silver and rare!

[bingbingbing]

Finding a 1892 Columbus medallion and a Paris Exposition medallion in the same hole was crazy enough (see my prior post - two medallions same hole) - but I found a 1901 Pan-American Exposition medal - 40 on the Nox! Why we love our hobby!

Here's a description I found for it:
1901 Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, Lavin-TM103, Silver, 64 mm. The edge is marked GORHAM CO. on this impressive Hermon MacNeil designed medal.

This will be the first item I send to get slabbed as it is rare and valuable (only 20 or so know to exist - I've done some research on it since positing this yesterday) - can anyone provide me with any guidance? (I'm only ~1 year into this hobby!)

Thanks for looking!

Thank you so much for the story. For me the story to our finds is almost as exciting as uncovering and unearthing our treasures.

Again thank you for you post!!
