Alan V. Weinberg comments: A rare medal with shallow protective rims and shallow detail making it all but impossible to find a nice specimen. This is the finest I know of.

Alan V. Weinberg comments: I've seen only a very few in silver or bronze and, as I recall, none were awarded/engraved. Sometimes, due to the cost of engraving and the necessity of separating the medal awardee from his medal, it was left unengraved and up to the recipient , at his own cost, to have an inscription engraved - which was often not then done.

Alan V. Weinberg comments: Not rare in brz or silver, this medal can be sometimes found in its original presentation case. Curiously, the silver comes in two versions: distinctly convex fields and flat fields. Gem proofs are rare. Never heard of a gold. In original case.
