<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mbgluck, post: 776083, member: 22447&quot;]I found this in my coin collection the other day.</p><p>The front of the medal has a picture raising a cross in the new world, with ships in the background. At the bottom, it says &quot;1492-1910&quot;. Underneath the date, on the rim of the medal, it says &quot;WHITEHEAD-HOAG&quot; The obverse displays the massachusetts coat of arms, and says &quot;COLVMBVS DAY MASSACHVSETTS OCTOBER 12, 1910&quot;. Directly under the word &quot;libertate&quot; on the coat of arms, the letters &quot;W&amp;H Co&quot; are written very small. The Medal is 3&quot; in diameter, and about 3/8&quot; thick. It weighs about 190g. I believe it is solid silver. I searched the internet a lot, and the closest I could find was this:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.timepassagesnostalgia.com/&amp;searchkeywords=columbu+day+1910+medallion&amp;sis=-1&amp;rdir=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.timepassagesnostalgia.com/&amp;searchkeywords=columbu+day+1910+medallion&amp;sis=-1&amp;rdir=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.timepassagesnostalgia.com/&amp;searchkeywords=columbu+day+1910+medallion&amp;sis=-1&amp;rdir=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>but this isnt the same medal, mine is bigger and has no ribbon. What do you all think its worth?</p><p>Follow these links for pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239025700/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239025700/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239025700/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239024636/in/photostream/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239024636/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239024636/in/photostream/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239023820/in/photostream/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239023820/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4239023820/in/photostream/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4238248289/in/photostream/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4238248289/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/78171397@N00/4238248289/in/photostream/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures (slightly less detailed) are also posted below (go down a few posts)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
