This coin is the first coin gift I received from my wife (circa 1977).
It is not the highest graded coin in my set, it is not the most expesive coin in my set, but it has the most meaning and it is a really cool 1937-D 3-Leg. Thanks LINDA!

This is not the "Centerpiece" but it may be the most visually appealing coin from a box of twenty that is almost closer to a box of forty. The pic is a bit weak in terms of doing the coin justice. Coin is from Pinnacle in a PCGS Proof 66 holder.

My Grandfather collected coins... My Father grew into it... he always went searching in his pocket change and in the 50's found one of these... it was given to me and I had it "made"... sort of being handed the collecting torch!
Thanks Gramps!

Good story that makes the coin very cool.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, I'm the only one in my family who has ever collected coins.
For the darkside of me...this is unimprovable...

From the book;
Engraver, William Barber
size, 57mm (large examples) 38mm (smaller examples
Striking of the Centennial medal commenced (Philly mint) after October 31,1874. These were sold at the following prices, bronze $3,
white medal,$1, copper gilt, $3. It is difficult to be percise about the numbers struck.
There were about 7,000 large bronze struck while only about 2,100 copper pieces(for gilding) were produced. Only 583 large white metalare recorded as being made,all in the 1877 fiscal year.
Interesting to note that the Four medal set is not mentioned in the book the writer goes on to note 9 in silver left the mint.
The book also mentions gold piece struck weighing 2323.65 grains. Two or three gold pieces , someone correct me on the number struck in gold . All the book says is Chief Coiner A. Louden Snowden caused this piece to be struck in a clandestine mannerfor himself or a friend.

<< <i>For sentimental value it would have to be this one that Russ gave me. Sorry, It brings tears to my eyes everytime I see it. No further comment on my part except..... Thanks again Russ!!!!
Hey Steve, I'm sure there's a special meaning behind that coin. Thanks for sharing it and strong sentimental value will always outweigh monetary value IMO.
