[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 8211143, member: 20201"][SIZE=6][B]1966 Pony Express[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B]National Commemorative Society[/B] [B] Sterling Silver Medal[/B][/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]1440622[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1440623[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1440624[/ATTACH] One earlier medal of what would be a collection of 150 different issues in a set that spanned from 1964 through 1976. Many medals like this were refined during the Silver Boom of the late 70's - early 80's. 5,292 is the mintage for each issue, how many survived the melting pot over the years is unknown. It is no mistake that the year this was minted in 1966 is directly connected to the theme of the Pony Express covering 1966 miles in 10 days. 10 days! Pretty darn impressive, especially when you consider the time it takes to get some priority mail delivered in 2022! 1972 Burtons Wagon Wheels The West - Pony Express Card [ATTACH=full]1440631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1440632[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
