The medal has no observable wear with minimum surface marks or scratches. It has what I view as beautiful dark brown coloring and is problem free. The box and the pamphlet are also in very good condition with some light soiling to the box with two corners being broken. There is also pencil marking with the number \"61\" on the edge of the box's lid written by the previous owner to identify the medal. A great medal to add to your collection. Please view photos for additional condition information and to appreciate the beauty of the piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Giamer Antiques and Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68529329012987,"sku":null,"price":137.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0399\/0717\/files\/MED112225D-12.jpg?v=1794363624","url":"https:\/\/giamerantiquesandcollectibles.com\/products\/1960-large-bronze-medal-society-of-medalists-61st-issue-leo-lentelli-sculptor-ms","provider":"Giamer Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
