Hi William,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
These WWI Victory medals are fairly common; it's not unusual for auctions to sell this with several other examples; a group of six recently sold for $450, or $75 per medal. If it has the original box it was presented in, that would add to the value a little
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage bronze World War I Victory Medal
Designed by J. E. Fraser of New York City in 1919
with a double rainbow moire ribbon affixed with three bronze bars embossed "St. Miguel / Meuse-argonne / Defence sector." The front bearing the winged figure of Victory. On the reverse is the inscription The Great War for Civilization and the coat of arms for the United States surmounted by a fasces, and on either side the names of the Allied and Associated Nations.
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition
$60-90*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
The additional bars add only very little additionally. I'd say $75-125 for that medal, assuming condition is similar to the one I've seen a photo of.
I do have a second medal of this one to but has added bars across ribbons 5 bars instead of 3
