That's a nice find.

It is in great shape to. That would clean up well.

Don't belittle your medallion Art, in 1905 they 'only' issued a few hundred. Individually it's not worth a lot. A complete collection from all the Ill GAR reunions would be worth a lot. A complete collection of all the GAR encampment medals... priceless.

Nice start.
