Condition: The item appears to be in brilliant uncirculated condition, housed in a protective BCW plastic holder. The surfaces exhibit a uniform copper-red luster with no significant signs of wear, scratches, or toning visible through the casing. The rims and edges appear sharp and well-preserved.
The medal was struck by the United States Mint as a bronze duplicate of the Congressional Gold Medal awarded in 2014. The metal content is primarily copper (90% copper, 10% zinc). The historical context honors the American Fighter Aces, elite pilots from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines who destroyed five or more enemy aircraft in aerial combat. The obverse features four pilots representing different eras of flight, while the reverse depicts a cluster of various fighter aircraft and the inscription ACT OF CONGRESS 2014. The strike type is a standard matte or satin finish typical of U.S. Mint bronze duplicates. No professional third-party grading is present; it is held in a private BCW flip.
