Not sure if this is entirely applicable here but there seems to be a lot of very knowledgeable people in medals and badges in addition to coins. Besides the description from the website does anyone else know any more about these? Mintage, when, where, why?
Thanks all,
"1925 Norse-American Centennial Badge. Bronze scalloped, 38.5mm. Attributed to Adam Pietz. Choice About Uncirculated. Brig Restaurationen under full sail, carrying the first organized group of Norwegian immigrants to U.S., 1825. Celebration legend, St. Paul, Minnesota. The octagonal Norse-American Medals in Gold and Silver marking the same event are well-known to commemorative coin collectors. With fragmentary red-white-blue ribbon and pinback header, made by Greenduck Co., Chicago."
