Here's a plaquette from 1981 that was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the American victory (with significant help from the French) over the British at Yorktown in 1781. The American victory at Yorktown effectively ended the War for Independence and led to a peace treaty between the British and Americans in 1783. The bronze piece was struck by Medallic Art Company (MACO) for the Supreme Council 33° of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. It measures 3" in length x 2-3/16" wide.   |

@rrus, first welcome to CCF. Second, if you use the search box in the upper left hand part of your screen with the keyword MACO, you will see several previous threads about Medallic Art Company products with discussions about collecting them. This might give you an idea of whether the market for a product such as yours is thin or not.

Needed a bit of patience to find this one.
Searched Google Images:
'Freemasonry 200th Anniversary Yorktown'
Found values ranging from US$25 to €120
My guess is with this rather substantial piece it could currently sell for around $50 in the US market.
Almost all productions of the Medallic Art Company seem to have at least some significant numismatic value - I think due to the quality if the medallic artwork.

I have always had good luck selling exonumia like this... price it right, and it flies out cause everyone wants a desk piece :) At around $20-$25, it will definitely find a new home.
