No, on the quarter, but it has to be mine as it looks just like one I have.

What more info could he want? It's a pin given to the members of the 1902 Indianapolis Baseball Club. If he can't tell if it's gold or not all he has to do is take it to a jewelry store and they'll be able to tell right away.

Good question. I guess if it is rare or valuable would be 2 easy questions? My guess is rare but not valuable.

I think you'd have to define valuable...1902 was the first year of the Indianapolis Indians and they won their first of many championships...get two Indianapolis minor league collectors in a bidding war....

Dan, that is good info that I didn't know. I think that is the type of info he might have been looking for. Thanks again!!

Leon, I agree that the item is definitely RARE and may be the only one still around. If it is made of gold it is more valuable as there is value in the material used to make it. As to value (assuming NOT gold) I could be off but I would estimate the vlaue in the $1000-2000 range as it really depends on the interested parties (as there could be a bidding-war by two Indy guys and it could go for more). IMO it is way cooler than the "value" would indicate. Obviously, it doesn't look like it is going anywhere but that is my 2-cents.
