commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12250 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 06:48 am 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 For more of my topics on commemorative coins and medals, including more Index lists, see: Commems Collection.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15383 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 1:45 pm 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. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 07/08/2023 1:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
