1972 Longines Symphonette Wild Bill Hickok .925 medal ERROR
This medal has the wrong reverse, that of the "Wounded Knee" medal from the same series.
1975 Diana 1892 Franklin Mint Treasures of American Art
1975 rather scarce sterling medal from the Treasures of American Art set of 100 medals.
It has an image of a beautiful sculpture of the famous Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
Diana - also known as Diana of the Tower - is an iconic statue by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
1967 Paul Revere IFCS by Felix Schlag Medal
1966 Betsy Ross - Feilx Schlag - SCFC Medal
Felix Schlag, who designed the
Jefferson nickel, also designed 4 medals for The Franklin Mint. Two of the seldom seen issues are Paul Revere and Betsy Ross (of which I have a duplicate). I have all four, including Herbert Hoover and Chief John Big Tree but these two are highly sought after.
1952 Benjamin Franklin American Commemorative Society c.smith Anniversary of Kite Flying Bronze Medal
This medal was issued by the American Commemorative Society, which was the trade name of Charles F. Smith of Boston MA and is mentioned in the Hibler-Kappen book of So-Called Dollars. It does not have an HK number, but is listed as a product of Charles Smith around 1950-52.
I have the original box as well.

Error strike - has the reverse of the "Punt Gun" medal which is another of this series of 30 medals struck around 1971.

1976 American Gothic - American Art Treasures
Although the mintage for medals of this American Art Treasures Franklin Mint set are not actually low, a complete set of 100 medals is seldom seen and some of the medals within this set never come around for sale as singles. This seems to be one of them.
It is very well done, minted in the early part of the 1976 to 1984 run when these were minted and released in order.
2000 Paul Revere 225th Anniversary 1775-2000 Silver Medal
I bought 5 of these in short order from the same seller when I realized they were scarce. These are the only 5 I have ever seen except for two sets that were in a box with a gold version of the silver and the sets were limited to a mintage of 100.
No further information is found to date, I look for them several times a week since, never finding any so I'm sure these are very rare!
1909 Hudson Fulton Celebration Yonkers N.Y. Medal
There are numerous versions of this medal in composition and size. I have seen a couple hundred I am sure, but I have only ever seen one other with Yonkers in place of The
American Numismatic Society text at left in reverse legend.
1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Souvenir HK-301 "No Star" Variety
The star is missing near the point where St Louis is on the map on the reverse.
1916 Panama California Exposition San Diego Bronze SCD
The vast majority of these so-called dollars are dated 1915 on the obverse. I have two dated 1916. This is my better one.
Buffalo Bill Lucky Penny
Looking around I have not found another . . . yet, and this big 3 inch souvenir is in very nice condition.
