MILITARY, WAR AND PEACE, AMERICAN REVOLUTION

171) This is the only one of these I have come across, and I was unable to find it in Rulau/Fuld. Extremely rare? White metal 37.7mm.

172) Same obverse as above but with a "Washington Crossing The Delaware" reverse. Evidently not in Rulau/Fuld. Very rare and I have only located it in bronze. Bronze 37.7mm

173) BakerJ-195. Obverse of HK126 with the other side different. White metal 35.1mm. It is not listed in Rulau/Fuld in White metal, but appears to me to be somewhat more common in white metal than other metals. Rare to very rare in White metal. Very rare in copper. Extremely rare in silver.

174) "Pennsylvania Volunteers", "Gettysburg July 3, 1863", "In Commemoration Of The Return Of The State Flags....", I have found this piece described as white metal, brass, and bronze. It is quit rare in any metal. Overall I would call it very rare. Brass 38.8mm

175) "Monument Association Of The Capture Of Andre/Tarrytown, N.Y." Perhaps rare in white metal, and rare to very rare in bronze. Almost always found unholed in both metals. Rulau NY-Ta 3, Bronze 34.5mm

176) Medal commemorating Admiral George Dewey and the Battle of Manila Bay. Small "HR" monogram above Dewey's right shoulder. Aluminum 37.9mm. Probably rare, maybe very rare.

177) Another Dewey medal, this one possibly extremely rare. "Dewey And All The Boys Remembered The Maine" "First To The Death Of Spain's Tyranny". Small "Copyrighted" to the lower right of bust. Aluminum 38mm

178) "U.S. Naval Campaign West Indies 1898", "William Sampson", "Commander In Chief", "Santiago De Cuba July 3." Bronze 38.2mm. Possibly very rare to extremely rare. Can be found with loop and hanger.

179) "Peace Jubilee / Philadelphia Oct. 26-27". Another piece celebrating the end of the Spanish American War. Probably rare, but extremely rare unholed. White metal 35.1mm. Rulau Phl 75. This is the only one of these I have found unholed. I have not seen it in any other metal.

180) Obverse of HK278 with an unlisted reverse. Bronze 35.1mm. Extremely rare as far as I can tell. This reverse is the same reverse used on a few 1898 Peace Jubilee medals commemorating the end of the Spanish American War.

181) "National Peace Jubilee Chicago. 1898.", From the end of the Spanish American War. Not in very good condition, but no evidence of a removed loop. Brass 37.9mm. Found as a badge with clamped on loop. Possibly rare to very rare.

182) Obverse the same as HK351 except that "To Pacific Coast" is replaced by "San Diego, Cal.". Reverse is the same as HK351. Appears to be of similar rarity to others of the series(HK351 - HK352c), except HK351, which appears to be by far the most common.

183) Bronze 38.3mm. This piece is very similar to the original "Treaty of Ghent" medal which is larger. In tiny lettering on the reverse: "W. & H. Co. Newark, NJ". Probaably rare, maybe very rare.

184) "Australian Cruise United States Fleet-1925", Brass 38mm. I have seen a few of these, so possibly rare to very rare.

185) This and the following four pieces have the same or similar reverses as HK892. The first four all relate to America's uneasy relationship with Mexico, during the Mexican revolution. Silverplated Bronze 36mm. I have also found this piece in bronze and brass. Very scarce to Rare.

186) "Service In Mexico With The American Punitive Expedition In The Pursuit Of Villa". Rare to very rare. Brass 36.1mm

187) "Battle Of Vera Cruz / April 21st, 1914". Very scarce to rare. The usual reverse wording is replaced by "Schwaab S. & S. Co. Milwaukie". The reverse device is also somewhat different. Brass 35.9mm

188) "Called To The Colors June 18, 1916 / For Service On The Mexican Border". I have found this piece described as copper, brass and silvered bronze. Rare, maybe very rare. Bronze 36mm

189) "National Guard Encampment". This one is dated 1921, but I have also found it dated 1920, 1923, and 1924. Brass 36mm. Taken separately, each date is probably very rare to extremely rare, but taken altogether, probably rare. Also note that the reverse device has slight differences from the others.

190) This is the obverse of HK896 combined with a different reverse. As far as I can tell, it is considerably rarer than HK896. Very rare. Brass 36mm.

191) This is the obverse of HK897 combined with the same reverse as the previous piece. It too appears to be considerably rarer than HK897. Very rare. Brass 36mm.

192) "Wichita, Kansas Fifth War Loan / B-29 Day", Aluminum 41.4mm. Probably rare to very rare.

193) This 1945 piece celebrates VE (Victory over Europe) and VJ (Victory over Japan). In 1898 this same obverse design was used on a few medals celebrating the end of the Spanish American War. Rare to very rare. In tiny lettering: "Hanson Chicago" Gilt 38mm.

194) Commemorating the launching of the "U.S.S. Nautilus / World's First Nuclear Powered Vessel". I have seen a number of these come up for sale over the years. It often comes with a cardboard insert. Maybe rare. Yellow bronze 39.3mm
