Here are a few new Columbian pieces that I was able to add to my collection this week.

First is a 28mm version of the popular Liberty Head medal. What makes this one special is that to my knowledge, it was only known in this size in aluminum. I have never seen nor heard of any other metal variety.

Next is a less common Eglit piece, E-282. Listed in "various metals", this one is white metal.

And finally, this one. It is similar to E-262, but the wording around the rim is different than I've ever seen. I know of one other variety and this isn't it. In bronze. Came with an original case, but I can't be positive that the case was for this medal. I am still researching this a little.
