Hann, Cut and pasted your name from the info site of the Medal of honor recipient, Hillary Beyer. He was my 4th gr uncle, twice removed...anyway, I have his Medal and was wondering what the monetary value this piece could draw from a collector, such as yourself. Please respond to me at pluckinmageetar@yahoo.com Thanks Mike Brown Scott D. Hann,

Ironically, the last one I saw was nailed to the bookstore adjacent to the Farnsworth House in Gettysburg. Apparently, it was purchased as a souvenir and mounted there to break up the monotony of the "Civil War Building 1863" signs that designate a dwelling that stood during the Battle of Gettysburg.
