Description: Official Medal of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, MO. There is some dispute over the terminology used to accurately describe the planchet compositions used for this issue. Hibler & Kappen originally separately listed Copper, Bronze and Yellow Bronze as HK-301/303/302 respectively. Modern research indicates that all of these compositions are essentially the same, and pieces cannot be so carefully distinguished. These were struck on site, and planchet stock was re-melted and reused daily, resulting in a mixed bag of composition, the color varying widely from a very red "copper" to a yellow "brass" depending upon impurities and the degree of Zinc and whiter metals included. In this case based upon observed grading by NGC I believe this is what they will call HK302, Yellow Bronze - the color seems obvious and the surfaces do not match the Gilt/Gold Plated examples I have seen & owned. Choice Uncirculated and well struck with only very minor roughness remaining on Jefferson's cheek, the principle problem area on this design. Some very minor flecks and spots should not limit the numerical grade. 0324-13 Please Note: We require payment within four days of purchase, unless you contact us for other arrangements in advance of purchase.
