In response to a comment/request made by nickelsearcher, I stated that I would prepare a US Mint Exposition Medal Index once I had completed my introductory posts about the series. That time has come!

Here's a list of my posts about US World's Fairs/Expositions that featured a US Mint-struck medal (either at the Mint or on the Exposition site in a US Mint exhibit):

- 1876 American Independence Centennial Exposition
- 1884-85 Industrial And Cotton Centennial Exposition
- 1893 World's Columbian Exposition - Cousins
- 1894 California Midwinter Exposition
- 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition
- 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition
- 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition
- 1901 Pan-American Exposition
- 1901-02 South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition
- 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition
- 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition
- 1907 Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition
- 1907 Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition - Part II
- 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
- 1910 Ohio Valley Exposition
- 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition
- 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition
- 1926 American Independence Sesquicentennial International Exposition


BONUS

This one was not released as part of an exposition, but it is a nice US Mint-struck commemorative medal from early in the classic era when medals were still considered "viable" by sponsors:

- 1906 Zebulon Montgomery Pike Expedition Centennial

Outstanding - really appreciate you pulling this index together, and of course all the hard work and scholarship that went into the underlying stories. Simply amazing!

I read your thread on the 'bonus' 1906 Zebulon Pike medal and noticed that your MS65 gilt example is not only gorgeous but pedigreed to Hibler. For a SCD that's a royalty pedigree.

@nickelsearcher: And my 1884-85 Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition piece is the medal illustrated in the book!
