Amelia Earhart Medallion Appraisal

Amelia Earhart 70th Anniversary Commemorative Medallion (2007)

This is a circular commemorative medallion struck to honor the 70th anniversary of Amelia Earhart's final flight. The item appears to be made of a non-precious base metal with a silver-toned or pewter-like finish. The obverse features a relief portrait of Earhart in her iconic aviator attire, including a leather flight helmet and goggles, alongside a depiction of her Lockheed Electra aircraft. The text 'AMELIA EARHART' is inscribed along the top arc, with 'COMMEMORATIVE 70TH ANNIVERSARY 2007' following the bottom curve. The coin-style piece has a reeded or textured edge. Physically, the medallion shows signs of surface wear with several small nicks, scratches, and a dulling of the original luster, particularly around the raised relief areas. Some minor pitting is visible on the field, which is common for zinc-based commemorative tokens of this era. The craftsmanship is of a standard commercial strike grade, typical of souvenir or historical society collectibles rather than high-end numismatic currency. There are no visible hallmarks or assay stamps to indicate precious metal content. Overall, the condition is fair to good, showing evidence of handling without protective casing.
