Art Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hello and welcome to CoinPeople. Nice medal. I don't know much about these and have no reference works that cover them. Hopefully some of the folks here will be able to provide a bit of information for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 It is difficult to say without seeing the reverse side of the medal. However, I am guessing it has the Lord's Prayer on the other side. If so, it has a catalog number of Baker 650A. Baker is the definitive work on Washington medals. The 1999 edition of the catalog list a value of $10 for a medal in the condition that you appear to have. I would say today's value maybe slightly higher, but not much higher.
