<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2022778, member: 66&quot;]I suspect this is a souvenir locket made to LOOK like the medal and not made from the medals themselves.&nbsp; There was actually an artisan at the exposition making lockets from coins (Columbian halves, Trade dollars, etc).&nbsp; He would take two coins, hollow one out, put in the hinge, and attach it to the cut down second coin so it would close and fit inside the first one.&nbsp; But this piece appears to be made from an embossed shell made to look like the obv of the medal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
