It was presented to WWI veterans who made a pilgrimage to France in 1936 for the unveiling of the Vimy War Memorial. The actual monument is huge and is something I would like to visit one day. The Latin translation is "In memory of sixty thousand Canadians who in the year of the lord 1914-1918 surrendered their lives for their country." Outstanding!

Dearborn Moderator United States 107338 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 06:43 am Whoops! missed your reply Capt Quote: Dearborn: Wells ordered a Bronze and a 1oz .999 silver version of this Sesquicentennial medal from Northwest Territorial Mint. Both Versions readily available on ebay. The bronze version in the card carrier is plentiful; the 1 oz silver version not so much, especially in the original packaging. The obverse features portraits of founders Henry Wells and William Fargo by Charles Vickers; the reverse is sculptor Ed Llewellen's rendering of the iconic stage coach. If you use "The Wells Fargo 150 Year Anniversary Commemorative Medallion Coin 1852-2002" as search term, Dearborn, you can get a look at them. ( It's my understanding we aren't supposed to post links to ebay listings. . .right ? ) Thanks for that info, I may have to look into getting one of these for my challenge coin set. as for posting links - yes we can, but some are a no-no and our great creator of the forum (Bobby) had blocked them out already. So post away Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 2131 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 09:39 am @Dearborn: I suspect the example I posted might have been a sales sample produced by NW Territorial Mint to demonstrate its versatility in medal / challenge coin production. I've got a bronze and silver version of the WFB 150th Anny medals on the way; will post photos after receipt. Report this Post to the Staff

It is quite unlikely that I'll ever encounter the 50¢ token. From Crawford and Farber, Louisiana Trade Tokens, 2nd Ed.: "Tokens are known for J. W. Lynn, who operated a cotton gin and general store from 1918 to the mid-1940s."

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 2131 Posts	Posted 06/02/2024 11:02 am These medals were given to consumers who opened a Wells Fargo California Checking Account in 2002, per an insert included in the example purchased and shown below. I rate the packaging an "A" and the medal a "C+". I see it as more of an advertising token. Outer Sleeve Obv Outer Sleeve Rev Inner Card Obv Report this Post to the Staff
