I really like that. I would guess AG3, but I think it'll come back as G04 or G06

I really like your medal in that pocket piece state ... I'm going with G06/VG08 as the grade ... can't say for sure if the rims are full on the reverse @10:00.
It's amazing to me to view such a piece and wonder who carried it for so long and the stories behind it.
You would enjoy a few of my pocket piece 1915 Panama Pacific Expo pieces ... favorite being HK-409 Montana Day in slam dunk FR02 with a true shot at PO01.

Thanks! @120grain apologies on the white fleck artifact from the scanner I was only going for the silver half-dollar size, but saw this and couldn't pass   |

Your newest addition has caused me to pull out my Hibler-Kappen (HK) reference ... which is a good thing as education is the reason for this forum. Your original medal (HK-344) is 34mm in diameter and struck in silver. I stay with my G06/VG08 grade guess. Your second medal shown (HK-346) is the same diameter but struck in bronze .... I'm at G04 for that one ... lovely pocket piece indeed.  For those lacking a H-K reference ... these are the 2 of the 4 'official medals' ... all of the same design but different composition ... produced on site at the Mint exhibit for the Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition held April 26 - Nov 30, 1907 in Norfolk County VA on the site that is now a US Naval base on Hampton Roads, VA.

David, thank you for the brief history on these from HK! We live about 20 minutes from the ferry South of the James at Surry (which is a short ride across the Rivah to the Jamestown settlement). The 400 year celebration in 2007 was amazing! We are contemplating the 2020 event in Plymouth.   |

Thanks Coinfrog  I believe in my habit of checking into this forum most frequently, I have posted the Jamestown SCD in the wrong place -- if a moderator wishes to move it to the Tokens/Medals/etc when they get a chance :/ Apologies! |
