Tal,
I would not be so sure about the statement that the medal was sold.
The dealer who had it listed takes good amount of item on consignment, normally for 6 months. You saw the medal listed in Dec 2004, it's been 8 months - it's highly possible there was no interest in this medal and it went back to th owner.
Keep in mind that very few collectors have interest in these Distinguished medals, the market is small and with the prices the dealer's listing them - there could simply be no interest.
Same goes with other items/groups listed on dealers sites in the past: just because it's on the site anymere - doesn't mean it was sold!
