I also collect Lincoln related stuff but it takes a back seat most of the time to my bullion interests. I do have the same medal except "silvered". Do you have any ballpark figure for the mintage #'s for these medals? I really need to get "Lincoln in Numismatics" by Robert P. King but it is a rare book and can't be found for less than ~$150!
That is a great example of the silvered version. The copper one I posted came to me in a 3" square black cardboard holder with the hanging ribbon attached as well as the original envelope the medal was sold in. I do not have the King book, but looks like you got a great deal on one. I did pick up the book "Collecting Lincoln" by Stuart Schneider. It is informative and covers much more than medals and tokens.
Here is a small (65mm x 87mm) Brenner plaque I picked up late last year. Still looking for the same size on green marble. I'll be looking at the Whitman Baltimore Expo next week.
