I am still awaiting delivery from EBay but hope it's as uncirculated as it appears to me. It looks very tarnished but the appearance of the reverse led me to believe it still holds some of it's mint luster and condition.
This is, in essence, the Canadian equivalent of the Libertas Americana. An official honor created for VIPs who helped found the Dominion of Canada in 1867. 50 silver pieces were made for the Fathers of Confederation, 500 bronze were awarded to prominent individuals, and a single gold was made for Queen Victoria (it has vanished). This came with its original box and is absolutely pristine. Usually even the best of these big 3” 19th century medals have spots, stains, or friction. Not so with this one. Truly exceptional. Sending it to PCGS ASAP.

Finally have this one in hand - picked up in OKC:
While there are three 67RD’s, this one’s pretty much as good as it gets!

I was pretty pleased when this eBay listing:

@PhilArnold That medal is simply stunning. I have never seen one before, so it's really, really impressive to me.
When it's graded, I hope the TrueView you get is good.

Kennedys are my quest...
The coin is lighter in hand.
My first cherry pick (aside from 60-D SDs)! The 1954 S in my childhood nickel collection is an S/D.
Finally pulled the trigger on the “right” no motto seated dollar for my type set.
New 67+* half to go with the Morgan. Let’s see how far I can go with the 67+*’s
Coin #16 of 18 total in the 1890 mint set.
Also posted in a separate thread, this low mintage 1881 Shield Nickel is my newest acquisition. Only 68,800 nickels were produced that year.
65 CAC
Bought this one to crack out and put in my Dansco 7179 ($74.14)
