I have a 1962 Seattle World's Fair Monorail SH 25-3 similar to the Space Needle low grade silver medal with no indication of silver purity. It also displays the same poor antiquing job of the Space Needle LGS medal.

My initial assessment of this medal has changed during photography. While setting up lights and adjusting the camera I caught a glimmer of bronze on the obverse side. Looking closer under magnification I feel this medal is a silver plated, poorly antiqued bronze medal as it has the same edge marking as the bronze medal - the weight is 30.0g.
Photo soon
