    Okay, this one finally came in. I know absolutely NOTHING about these large bronze medals. I bought this because I loved the intricacy of the design, and because of its connection to the Chicago Columbus Exposition.

    Does anyone know of a good online research resource for historical bronze medals? I didn't see this one listed in the "so-called dollars" references that I have. I think it is a bit too large to qualify.

    Anyway, it came in late yesterday. Here is my latest acquisition. It measures 50.5mm and weighs in at 47.0 grams.




    1893 World's Columbian Expo / Christopher Columbus Bronze

    And while we are talking about monster brass medals, consider this behemoth recent addition.

    Measuring a full 63mm and tipping the scales at 108.0 grams, is my latest . . . . . .

    M below E so I’d say O-122... also look at the D/E alignment (uniteD/E pluribus).

    Nice pick-ups!! I'd love to go on a shopping spree like that. But my wallet would never be able to handle it. ;)

    My wallet can barely handle it these days. I've been buying way more than I've been selling.
