I was playing with the camera today and thought I'd share a few.

I hope it's o.k. if I sneak a world medal in. :)

 

Please feel free to post your pics too. I like looking at coins!

I was there!

 

I was at the 1964 WF in NYC, but they didn't have any tokens at the Brass Rails scattered throughout the grounds.

This is the obverse of a 26-P and the reverse of a 36-S, it's amazing how the toning looks as if were the same coin. Just an early April fools joke, because as you know you can't fool anybody on April 1st :devil:....It's just like the coin above, it belongs to Lance. But it's not real, it's a picture out of a book , or something... :grin:

Quote from Hibler & Kappen:

Medal commemorates 100th anniversary as territory, not statehood, wisconsin having been admitted to the Union May 29, 1848. Legislature created Wisconsin Centennial Inc. 1933 with $500 appropriation, later increased. Celebration was state wide, highlight being presentation of pageant, "Centennial Cavalcade of Wisconsin," in the stadium of University of Wisconsin, Madison, June 27-July 5, 1936; "witnessed by at least 75,000 spectators."

 

This was official medal, sponsored and designed by Commission, 1500 pieces struck in Bronze, sold for $1.

 

Obv. Capital building, clouds behind; at base on small ribbon 1936; smaller ediface to L; at base, on small ribbon 1836; avove all, around Wisconsin Territorial Centennial; below all is prone animal (badger?) on dotted line.

 

Rev. Eagle in upper center panel; to L 19/ June / 27, to r. 36/ July/ 5' above at border Madison' below panel Official/Wisconsin/Centennial/Celebration; stars all around at border.

 

HK-696. Bronze Size 24. Very scarce.

 

 

Late die state. Tough to find with original packaging and no, I wasn't there. ;)

Hey Lance, did you get the Lennon £5 coin in a PCGS holder?
No, haven't sent it in, Bob. Not sure I will.

 

You have one. I saw your pretty pictures. Did you submit it?

Lance.

No. Yours looked like it was in a holder. I don't have any plans on submitting it.

I hate the risks of handling proofs. So I shot the coin in its original holder. IIRC, I opened one side so as not to shoot through plastic.

 

I can see why you guessed it might have been in a PCGS slab.

Lance.
