nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 8:33 pm Great fun HONDO ... I alas know little of these, other to acknowledge there are many passionate collectors who pursue the series ... and the medals are indeed a tremendous slice of USA numismatic history. I have a single SC$1 myself ... 1915 Panama Pacific ... purchased on a whim and has forever inspired a simmering interest in more. Thrilled to view your initial example ... Thanks for sharing!

Struck in the US Mint exhibit at the LPE, the medal is an official "cousin" to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition gold dollars. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

LeeG Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 03/21/2015 09:07 am Looks to be a nice XF piece. I still kick myself in the rump for selling this piece in the original holder: Especially due to the fact I was born in Wisconsin. Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 03/21/2015 6:04 pm LeeG, thanks for sharing. Yeah, too bad you let that one go... We've all got regrets for a coin or two let go. Since we're on the topic, may I ask, what is the coin in your avatar? Is that a So Called Dollar by chance? Report this Post to the Staff
LeeG Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 10:27 am Not sure if they consider this a So-Called Dollar. It is the Official Medal from the 1927 Vermont Sesqui Celebration. It was designed by Charles Keck as was the Commemorative Coin for this celebration. Report this Post to the Staff
