I wanted to point out also that there were tokens available. I have secured one of them. I also have an original columbia expo 1892 in the original bag and bezel many were to have been given out in.
But the tokens I do not understand and haven't located much information. I have one. I see one sold on ebay recently. Apparently there were two types of tokens -- these are US GOVT BUILDING [obverse] TREASURY DEPARTMENT WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION CHICAGO 1893 UNITED STATES MINT EXHIBIT [reverse]
My token has LARGE lettering on the obverse, the one on ebay that recently sold had small lettering. Maybe somebody can enlighten me about this? I just recently got into commemoratives and am absolutely loving them. ;-)
Anyways, have a great weekend everbody.
[If pics are needed of this token, I'll gladly scan it if nobody can come up with an explanation of the small/large lettering on the obverse banner... thanks!]
