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.

I would like to see your low grade silver medal so I can add it to my next book. Can you email me an image? Jeff Shevlin SoCalledGuy@hotmail.com

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

I am sorry for misleading the group on this thread. This medal is a silver plated bronze mule and undeserving of mention.

Out.

Cheers.
