<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 970057, member: 66&quot;]Looks pretty straight forward.&nbsp; Collingdale PA wanted something to help celebrate their 75th anniversary so they contacted a private mint, in this case the Franklin Mint, and paid them to strike a bunch of commemorative medals for them.&nbsp; They were probably sold for a small amount with the money being used to offset the cost of their celebration.&nbsp; A lot of cities issued medals for similar purposes back in the 60&#039;s.&nbsp; The town I live in did the same thing back then to celebrate their 125 anniversary)&nbsp; From the documents you show they mad 100 in silver, 650 in silver clad, just over 3000 in nickel brass, and an unknown number in coppernickel.&nbsp; value is minimal and probably at its greatest in Collingdale PA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
