If it is presidential it is cheap, as presidents don't spend their money they spend ours.

It is an item that one must find a buyer for. Several thousand is a lot. I have a Beal medal and it is silver, it is from 1897 and was given to a student for his grades in a grade school in the Bronx. His name in engraved on it. It took me sometime but I found out about it thanks to the NYC historical society as well as the main library. They were both very helpful and I did it all by email. there is only one engraved with the persons name and only 2 or 3 given out that year. So mine is very rare but I bought it for $5 at a flea market. It has at least $15 worth of silver in it. Most medals have no set value and one must find a buyer, it is easier these days to find that buyer due to on line auctions.
