<B>1884 St. Louis Exposition, HK-600A, MS61 NGC.</B></I> White metal, 38.1 mm. Unlisted in Hibler and Kappen's 1963 work on the subject, the white metal version is likely more rare than the bronze issue that is identified. This medal was issued as a souvenir for the 1884 Music Hall and St. Louis Exposition. Attractive semi-prooflike surfaces are delicately muted by natural patination, making for a beautiful example of this elusive issue. Holed for suspension at 12 o'clock on the obverse, which is typical of medals from that era. NGC has only certified one example of HK-600A, the medal in this lot, although it is incorrectly listed in the NGC <I>Census Report </B></I>as HK-600.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
