1968 Illinois Sesquicentennial silver medal / SCD
Struck in silver, approximately 1 ounce @ 40mm (silver dollar size)
Designed by Kennedy half dollar designer Gilroy Roberts (note his initials beneath conestoga wagon)
Deep black & white frosted cameo, high relief, and in original octagonal container. PR68 or 69 DCAM by my grading.
Mintage of 5,000 of which this piece is edge-marked "1788". Surviving mintage probably a tiny fraction of that.
Note Illinois' bicentennial is next year!
Asking $49 shipped paypal preferred

Payment received by 11:00 central usually ships the same day.

    Why thank you, @epcjimi1, it is a fascinating and topical piece with Illinois' bicentennial just around the corner!

    And it's still available. Bump for Friday!

    Bump for Monday with price drop. This is very cool piece and a great addition to Kennedy and Franklin half collectors!
