t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 3:25 pm The Pan-American Exposition was a World's Fair held in Buffalo, New York in 1901. I found this gold colored souvenir coin in a mixed box of old medals at a dealers table at the Coin and Stamp Show in Dedham, Mass. Perhaps this coin was sold as a souvenir at the fair? Please post any information you may have about this item. If you have any Pan American Exposition related items, I would really enjoy seeing some pictures of them. Some Pan American Exposition commemorative stamps and covers are posted here. Edited by t360 09/01/2008 3:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
