The obverse features Leif Erikson, while the reverse features the Restauration. These medals received congressional approval, as noted on the reverse, and were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This piece has lovely color, likely originating from an old Wayte Raymond board. Wayte Raymond was a prominent numismatist of the early 20th century who also created an innovative coin storage board. Like many modern-day coin albums, Wayte Raymond albums featured a sliding plastic window that contained the coins. Many coins that have been on these boards for a long time have a distinct look. This piece is graded CAC MS64 Check out Norse Medals on ebay Check out Norse Medals on ebay Read More: Error Highlight Series Report this Post to the Staff

Many classic commemorative collectors, myself included, consider the Norse medal to be the 51st type coin for a classic silver commemorative type collection.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3718 Posts	Posted 04/06/2026 10:21 am What a beauty of a Norse! @commems, that Wayte Raymond album page brings back memories. The Pony Express medal mentioned there was beautiful and was sure collected along with the Oregon Trail half dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
