HK-24 question
Quote from Unattributed on May 21, 2012, 4:48 pmI have other silver medals from that time period, I don't recall seeing sterling on them. Do the silver 1876 centennial pieces have sterling on them?

Quote from Pioneer on May 23, 2012, 9:42 pmIs rarity/value equal for copper vs bronze on this medal?
I would call the medal bronze and it would not make a price difference with most collectors.

Quote from Unattributed on May 24, 2012, 5:37 amJust won an auction for an HK-24 Liberty Bell/Independence Hall medal, holed with original ribbon attached. Would this increase the value of the medal?

Thanks for getting back to me on my question on my centennial medal. I am not sure if bronze or copper composition. It seems to be a scarce medal either way.

Quote from Unattributed on June 6, 2012, 9:03 amThanks, Bill. I will keep the medal and ribbon intact as you suggested and have also placed in a mylar envelope for safe storage. Would you have an idea as to the value?

Quote from bill on June 6, 2012, 1:57 pmThe H&K price list would suggest something in the $75 to $150 dollar range, but the fact that it is holed would reduce its value to many so-called dollar collectors. I value the intact ribbon, but it would really have to stand at auction to determine demand.

Quote from Unattributed on June 29, 2012, 10:19 amThanks for the information Bill, I will definitely keep the medal and ribbon together as a set. I am still not sure if it is a bronze or copper composition.

Copper vs bronze is a matter of color. While the medals could actually have minor differences in composition, the difference is more likely one of the degree of toning or patination applied to the medal.
