OTHER PUBLIC EVENTS, PEOPLE, OTHER SO CALLED DOLLARS

HK

223) Companion to the piece listed in HK. In tiny lettering: "F. B. Smith & Hartman N. Y.". "The Great International Prize Fight Between Heenan & Sayers For....". Probably rarer than it's HK counterpart. Very rare to extremely rare. Copper 34mm.

HK

224) Commemorates a "Bicycle Tournament" and the City of Springfield. This piece appears to be very to extremely rare in bronze and gilt, more common(maybe rare) in white metal. Found holed about half the time in white metal. Rulau Ma-Sp 2, Storer 1638, Gilt 35.4mm

HK

225) "A Souvenir Of The Grand Winter Carnival Feb. 1887 / G.R. Fownes N.Y.", White metal 35mm, Rulau Vt-Bu 3, Maybe rare. Extremely rare in strict unc. I have only located it in white metal.

HK

226) I am not sure if this piece is an advertisement or a commemorative, but I guess it qualifies? You decide. Rulau Bal 25, White metal 37.9mm. Probably rare. Also exists in bronze, and probably a bit rarer in that metal.

HK

227) "Honorary Board Of Filipino Commissioners.....", "Seal Of Board Of Trade 1876". I guess maybe this commemorates some sort of trade meeting. Any ideas? Copper 38.1mm. Also exists in white metal. Possibly extremely rare in either metal.

HK

228) Neat obverse. "57th Regatta Philadelphia June 18 1910", "Schuylkill Navy", This is the only one of these I have seen, purchased from Barry Friedman off of ebay a few years ago. Gilt 33.5mm. Extremely rare.

HK

229) "Semana Nautica Santa Barbara California", Copper(?) plated nickel 38.2mm. I have only found one other of these, so maybe very rare to extremely rare.

HK

230) Commemorating a 1937 boat race from "St. Louis To Fort Benton", Copper 37.5mm. Possibly very rare.

HK

231) In the same style as HK506. Evidently issued by the American Commemorative society as was HK506. The authors of HK evidently knew of the possible existence of this piece, but had not come across one. Bronze 38.2mm. In my humble experience, very rare.

HK

232) In 1957 the Mayflower 2 (a full scale reproduction of the original) sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a 55 day voyage. This piece and maybe another are the only ones I have come across. Bronze 38.2mm.

HK

233)This piece has the reverse of HK724 muled with a different obverse. "In Commemoration Of Your Visit With The Mayor". In tiny lettering: "Mfg. By Harvey Aluminum". This piece appears to be rarer than HK724. Very rare. Gold colored anodized aluminum(Gilt?) 37.5mm

HK

234) This piece celebrates the anniversary of a trade association in the form of a banquet. "Souvenir Of XXXII Anniversary Banquet Silk Association Of America Feb. XI. MCMIV". Very rare, maybe extremely rare. Silver 38mm.

HK

235) "Robert Fulton", from "Alfred S. Robinson's Historical Series No 2". Number 1 in this series is HK133. Rulau Ct-Ha 19, Brass 34.8mm(Rulau's description of 41mm is in error). Can be found in white metal, copper, and brass. Overall probably rare.

HK

236) "Betsy Ross Monument Association Of The Patriotic Orders Of U S of A". Bronze 35.2mm. Occasionally found in either bronze or white metal. I have never seen one holed in either metal, but have seen one with a clamped on loop. Rare to very rare.

HK

237) Obverse the same as HK773 and HK774 but with a different reverse. In tiny lettering around below: "Robbins Co Attleboro". I have found this piece and HK773 to be of the same rarity, maybe rare. HK774 is definitely more common than the other two. Bronze 35mm

HK

238) This piece is a muling of the obverse of HK863 with the reverse of HK435. Dickeson 2 (Delorey). The reverse of this piece is also the same as the obverse HK442, the reverse of HK857, the obverse of HK866, the reverse of HK877, and the reverse of HK887. Appears to me to be rare to very rare. Copper/Bronze 38.5mm
