Kentucky Derby commemorative medal

Was digging thru some junk trying to find some stuff to put in our garage sale tomorrow and came across this doo-dad. Anyone have any info on it? Should i ebay it or throw it back in the drawer?

I don't know anything about this medal...and I live in Louisville. I've never seen one. It is silver though, so it's at least worthwhile to save for silver content. I have no clue, but there should be a book or two about derby memorabilia floating around. I'll take a look.

Interesting. I assume since it's stamped "Sterling", it's possibly 92.5% silver? It's roughly the size of a Peace dollar, and according to my postal scale, it weighs 1.20 ounces / 35 grams.

Very nice! Maybe you could find something on it if you email a picture of it to the Kentucky Derby Web site or Chruchhill Downs.

Nice. If you don't need the money, hang on to it. Will probably be worth more around it's 150 anniversary.
