STATUES AND MONUMENTS

148) This satirical piece relates to the length of time that it took to complete the Washington Monument. Baker321. Silver 39.6mm. Extremely rare in this metal. Also exists in bronze and white metal.

149) "The Egyptian Obelisk / Was Transported From Egypt And Erected In Central Park, New York, 1880". This is a fraternal piece, but in my view makes so called dollar status due to the "public" significance of the event. Found in copper, gilt brass and white metal. Rulau NY-NY 63. Overall, rare to very rare.

150) "In Memoriam / Unveiling Statue Of / Gen. R. E. Lee. / Lexington, Va. / June 28th. 1883." White metal 43.5mm. This piece appears to me to be very to extremely rare. Have only seen in White metal.

151) Commemorating the "Unveiling Of Buckingham Statue". "June 18,1884". In tiny lettering below bust: "C. Faliesky Fsc". Probably rare. White metal 35.2mm. Often found holed and extremely rare in strict unc. Have only found it in white metal.

153) "Souvenir To Commemorate The Unveiling Of The Daniel Webster Statue. June 17th 1886 Pres...." I have found this piece described as being silver, silver plated bronze and white metal. Whatever it's true composition, it appears to probably be very rare.

154) "City Of New Haven. Connecticut." "Soldiers Monument. Dedicated June 17. 1887." This is the only one I have located in bronze, so extremely rare. Somewhat more easily located in holed white metal. Tiny "Theiler Meriden" next to the rim.

160) This is the reverse of HK761 with the other side blank. This could be some sort of die trial or it could be a more modern restrike. The reverse die of HK761 was sold in Presidential Coin and Antique Co. sale #70. Both the die and this piece are from Barry Friedman's collection. Copper 39mm

164) This is the reverse of HK42 muled with an unlisted reverse. Baker C-324a, "Trenton Battle Monument Oct. 18, 1893.", Found in bronze and white metal. Possibly rare in each metal. Have never located one in silver. Bronze 38mm
