Erie Canal Medal( HK-1 ) in SILVER--how rare and how valuable???

[bigmoose-migration]

This is a question for the exonumists out there. Just how rare is an Erie Canal Completion Medal( HK-1 ) in Silver( actually HK-1000 )?? In the Hibler-Kappen text on So-Called Dollars in section IV, they state that less than 5 are known, but I have to believe there are more than five out there. I bought one a year ago from a good dealer friend after pestering him for nearly a year to sell it. It is now in an NGC PR66 holder. Does anyone have a good idea what these are actually worth?

I don't know what they are worth but I do know that they are way cool. Could you please post an image of it?

[bigmoose-migration]

TomB, I would be happy to post an image of the medal if I were computer literate! Better yet, I will take it to Baltimore so you can check it out. TomT.

[TomB]

YES!

Dave, if Shylock is at the Baltimore Show or at the FUN Show I will ask him to photograph and post it. TomT.
