HK-389, Official Souvenir Medal of the 1909 Portola Festival at San Francisco. This came out of a very old collection where it was hidden for a half Century or more. NGC MS-62BN, holed as sold, for suspension on a watch strap. Difficult to locate in any grade without damage, Uncirculated or otherwise, due to how they were issued. Fifteen in Unc grades at NGC, a large number certified by myself. About half of these are distinguished as "With Hole"; almost all the other half not so listed are holed as well. To my knowledge, NONE of these were issued unholed, coming either with a slot such as this example, or a round hole for mounting on ribbon badge. The only unholed example I know of is the ex-Bill Weber MS-65. As far as availability, at least four of the NGC certified Uncs are very closely held, and two others fairly recently sold, so likely also not available. This may be your only opportunity for quite a spell, if you want a problem free Unc example. For reference, I recently paid $350 from another dealer for an MS-63, in order to find one for a customer, and that was CHEAP in my opinion. Due to value this will require shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
