Finally received one of my babies back from PCGS. Turn around time was roughly 3 months but well worth the wait. Columbian Exposition Award medal presented to President Grover Cleveland. 1 of 3 specimens struck in aluminum

If you have any Columbiana please share it!

    fantastic pieces! I love them!! <3

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    @Mr_Colombo, thanks for the kind words. I find that there are so many medals from this exposition that it can be a daunting decision about which to collect. I've chosen to buy the designs I find most appealing. To that end, they aren't always easy to locate. Lately there haven't been many offered at auction.
