PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND OTHER PUBLIC WORKS

195) HK8 with a different reverse. "The First Column Erected By Saml Laing Esqre M.P. Augt 5th 1852 Opened June 10th 1854". "Pinches" in tiny lettering. As far as I can tell, extremely rare. Tony Swicer may have sold another in 1992 that was holed. White Metal. 41.5mm.

196) This medal commemorates of the opening of the famous Brooklyn Bridge. "Two Cities As One New York & Brooklyn". I have only seen this piece in white metal. Although it is fairly common(very scarce?), it is quite rare unholed. White metal 35.5mm.

198) The obverse of HK244 as the reverse. BakerY-324. Bronze 35mm. Probably rare to very rare, and when found, usually in nice condition and unholed. Equally rare in white metal and almost always holed.

200) "To Commemorate The International Opening Of The Philadelphia Commercial Museum June 1897", Silver 34mm. The obverse of this piece is similar to HK644. Rulau Phl A78. I have found this piece to be rare, and usually unc.

201) "Commemorative Of Establishment Of The Capitol In The District Of Columbia", Bronze 44.3mm. A large (and thick) so called dollar. This medal was evidently made from bronze taken from the original capitol building of 1800. Probably rare and sometimes found looped with ribbon and hanger.
