Numerous sources state that this item is fairly rare in spite of the 2,000 mintage by Wendell-Northwestern, Inc of Minneapolis, MN. It may be that Salina is geographically in the middle of Kansas, and this piece may be been discarded over the years. I personally think a 2K mintage is pretty small... given that National Commem Medals of the US mint with a similar mintage number are also pretty hard to find.
