$7777.09

Hand engraved for FORREST A. GRAY for saving a man from drowning on February 10, 1942. United States of America U.S. Coast Guard Silver Life Saving Medal made of silver and in super frosty condition. Only the case has signs of wear. The medal has only very minimal wear from age. Everything about this medal is beautiful. It's well preserved.
What makes this medal stand out:
  • Name engraved by hand and truly a work of art if you ask me.
  • Comes in its original case.
  • It's from 1942.
  • It's for saving a person's life.
  • It's USA but not technically a military medal which allows it to be bought and sold legally in the U.S.
  • It's in breathtaking condition.
  • It's made of pure silver and weighs 86.1 grams! Silver is approx. 30/oz at the time of writing (1/16/25)
  • There are multiple threads on Military forums easily found through a Google search that document the sales history of the few that have been made available online over the last 20 years.
These are some of the most desirable traits that make war medals valuable, and they make this a savvy investment opportunity for those who know. Medals awarded for saving a person's life are highly sought after.

Dimensions: The pendant measures 1.5'' in diameter, and the case measures 6" x 3".

Condition: The medal has overall age wear but looks frosty AF! The stitching is still tight on the ribbon, and the clasp remains fully intact at the top reverse of that ribbon.
