rbrown4 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Since this thread seems to get more traffic than the token/medal thread, I wanted to share this latest acquisition here. A commemorative coin celebrating the 250 year Pilgrim Jubilee Memorial. 1620 to 1870 (date of the piece). Although it is bronze or copper which is evident and is toned, the details on this are magnificent and so detailed. I am in the process of investigating the orign of this any input would be greatly appreciated.i Rey Edited June 27, 2008 by rbrown4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First meeting held May 18, 1820; on first Forefathers Day celebration, Dec. 21, 1820, Daniel Webster was principal speaker. Pilgrim Hall, operated by Society, built 1824; later re-modeled.

Elbesaar Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Great looking Trime, Boiler. Also love that 1870 Pilgrim Commemorative, its extremely interesting. Wonderful description, thanks for all the background - Medals are not my forte, but I wouldn't mind assembling a set of Pilgim commems [ 1920 & 1921 ] plus an example of this 1870 commem. Great looking Walkers too ! Although I like the Lincolns imaged, I scared of Red Copper...I always end up with RB's.

rbrown4 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Very nice everyone, I too love that Trime, nice Barber as well. This one is not as "interesting" as those but as a new addition to my collection it does mean something. My father not only collected coins but also collected antique incandescent lamps (light bulbs) and even has some Edison originals. I saw this and decided to pick it up.

Revenant Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) This coin is my step-father's but I was with him through all the discussion and the purchase and it's going into my registry with the rest of the certified coins the family has. This coin is the first pre-1933 gold in the family collection so let me know what you think. Edited to add: It's slabbed as an NGC MS63.
