<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2004622, member: 42773&quot;]This really is one of the most interesting threads on CT. Thank you to everyone for sharing their acquisitions. I recently came across this medal for a dollar in a junk box, from the Chicago World&#039;s Fair, 1933.</p><p><br /></p><p>The high points of the bust are obviously abraded, from being tossed around with other coins, but such is the stuff that junk box collectors collect. I can&#039;t fix that, but the piece is somewhat gunky, and it&#039;s going into an acetone bath today. I&#039;ll post &quot;after&quot; pics if there&#039;s any improvement.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: 450th Anniversary of Birth. November 10, 1483. Martin Luther.</p><p>Reverse: A Century of Progress. 1833-1933. From Century to Century the Lutheran Church Proclaims her unchanging faith that Jesus Christ died for all. Chicago (World’s Fair).
