wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 01/05/2009 1:24 pm Sure did , it has a reeded edge just like a coin.I bought these other two and just like you say the .999 hallmark is on the edge with those.Not so with the Chicago medal.

mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 01/05/2009 3:01 pm It seems your coin was designed by Virginia Janssen and minted by the Hoffman Mint of California. I've seen mention of bronze coins minted, but not silver. Contact the mint. Maybe they could help. Ask about how many were minted. check out these links. http://www.smallreliefs.com/medallic.html http://www.hoffmanmint.com/medals.html Report this Post to the Staff
mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 01/05/2009 3:28 pm A couple more regarding the artist. Maybe the coin is pewter? http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/ind...lease&id=147 http://www.techno-industrial.com/sp...0Reliefs.htm Report this Post to the Staff
