My aunt was working for the state as a nurse at the time. She was one of the workers who helped with the celebration. Believe it or not, these programs were still available at the state museum in Dover as late as the 1980s.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1664600[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a folder in which the half dollars were issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1664601[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of three examples of I have of the coin. I usually don&#039;t keep duplicates, but each one has something I like about it. At any rate prices for this commemorative have fallen like a stone, so I don&#039;t have much incentive to sell any of them. This one has the toning which results from storing the coin in the original issued folder. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1664602[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here a picture of the half dollar which is in the program. It is not the same as the finished coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1664603[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally the Sweds also issued a commemorative coin for the occasion, a half dollar sized two krona piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1664604[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have quite a bit more Delaward stuff, but that&#039;s enough for now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
