Received this from @illini420 last February.
It's one of the handful of commems that I've wanted for a long time and I'm very happy to have it.
The catamount is so cool and it's in an OGH.

Of course you'll recognize that the pic is by Mr. Kittle.

    Very nice... both the coin and the picture.... super luster there....Do not often see that term used (catamount). Cheers, RickO

    A great looking Vermont 👍
    One of my favorite commemoratives.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Nice coin. I love the Puma concolor, panther, mountain lion, painter, cougar, el leon, or whathaveyou. I really like the artistic trick of making it look like it doesn't really fit on the coin.

    I lived in Vermont for one glorious year. Now, many years later, our time there registers a greater-than-average number of happy memories in my mind. Great place.

    I hear that Ira Allen fellow was a good bloke too.

    One of my favorite commems. Looks like a very lustrous example.

    It is one of the few early’s I have yet to have owned.

    Very nice, I like the photo.

    I love the commemorative half series and this is one that I have wanted for a long time that I just got last year. I was born and raised in southern California so this one is the closest commemorative to my birth place.
