Paul,
This is the only medal that I have ever seen that I like. Can you tell me more about it. Is it made of silver? How many are out there? Where would you be able to get one today? I tried to do some research on it but my searches came up empty.

Thanks,
LouieLot

 

Nice Grab!

 

You already know what I think of that Lafayette . Exquisite set paul .

 

Lehigh, have you thought about posting a want ad w/ the TAMS Publication ?

 

I am not sure I understand. What is the want ad for?

Sweet set of coins. I've been looking/saving for a Lafayette dollar for over a year. Most non-slabbed coins have been harshly cleaned. Certified coins from NGC and/or PCGS are expensive. I want an MS 63 because the BIG price jump is MS 64. Even if I had the money already it is still a very tough coin to find.

The Yorktown medal is awesome. Nice pair and both historically significant.

Thanks for sharing them.

 

This is the NGC Multi-holder that was introduced to hold all of the annual States Quarters in one slab. Since then, NGC has also introduced their "oversized" holders for larger medals. If I recall, these holders can accept medals up to 103mm in diameter and 15mm thick.

Here is the info on the Multi-Coin holder from NGC.

PS. Paul, I forget to mention it, but I like the medal a lot!

 

Here is the info on the NGC Oversized holder. I want to correct my previous statement. It will hold a medal up to 120mm in diameter.

You hit a home run with metal!!! MS-62! I know the mintage is not high.I don't how missed this gem but great find.most I seen an article about a1878-1900 lg is about 04 or 05 Lewis in Clark & Yorktown was list to with 3 other 4 well known Metal, the name of I can not recall at this time. most were display and environment damage caused quite a few were lost to it.

 

This thread is absolutely wonderful! A horn-of-plenty, so to speak. Plenty of a great medal, associated coins and historic trivia.

Adding to the trivia, the record well documents that GW and Lafayette shared a brothers-in-arms camaraderie. Mucho admiration and mutual respect. Therefore, it was most fitting that the Marquis De Lafayette, in a letter he wrote to General GW in 1778, stated, "To act in concert with a man of great courage is the first of blessings." An expression of the warriors code of honor.

 

Just took some new photos of this medal which might be one of the coolest items in my entire collection.

 

Great looking medal.

 

that is great !!!
