<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cadmanco, post: 594657, member: 18454&quot;]I especially like collecting medals for many reasons,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No limits or boundaries on what can artistically be portrayed...</p><p>All sizes and metal types have been utilized....</p><p>Endless historical connections.. and to say nothing of in many cases their &quot;true rarity&quot; as compared to coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Pikes Peak set shown in the original post is probably unique.&nbsp; They are struck by the US Mint. (notice the one in the bottom right corner is marked as 2 known - I haven&#039;t seen the other yet) It came from the personal collection of Mr. Al Overton, whom many here will know as the one whose book is utilized widely to attribute bust half dollars.&nbsp; He lived in Colorado and heavily collected Colorado items.&nbsp; He had one of the largest collections of Colorado Pioneer Gold and Colorado banknotes known, besides his many other numismatic items.&nbsp; This Pike&#039;s Peak set came from the dealer that privately handled his estate.&nbsp; I was very lucky to be able to obtain it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nice stuff guys.... keep &#039;em rolling....&nbsp; :eat:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
