Wow, those first two are pretty impressive. I had never before seen one of those toned. It makes me look at those a bit differently...

Thanks, they both came from a roll and after a few years of owning them I just couldn't take it anymore and cracked it open

Were those those items issued that way, or this something of your own creation? I was not aware that these three items were issued as a set.

Believe it or not, there were still examples of the Delaware medalet, which is listed as a so-called dollar, available for sale at the state museum in Dover, Delaware as late as 1960, 22 years after the celebration. I bought one on my 5th grade field trip for the issue price of 50 cents.

There ws also a larger version of the medalet in bronze and silver. I have the bronze, but I've never seen a silver and have heard from an expert collector that it is quite rare. I'd buy one of the silver pieces if the price was half way reasonable.

Here is a medal in silver that Swedish Government issued for the same event. The Sweds also issued this in bronze.

Always thought the Wisconsin commem pickaxe had a labor day feel to it

(even with the inscription "4th DAY OF JULY" which celebrates the centennial of their statehood and first governor)
