Colonial Coin Replica Medal
|
|
 |
|
1928 National Currency / Colonial Coin Medal.
Obverse a class Colonial image (slightly modified) of
the rare Massachusetts LIBERTY AND VIRTUE pattern
copper dated 1776. The Reverse has a multi-line
inscription: "September 4, 1928 One of Thirty Six
Replicas of Early American Coins Used in Banking Screen.

Bank of Philadelphia, Charter No. 1."

$125 A medal with cross-over interest
for collectors of Colonial Coins, Medals, and National
Currency. The legend presents a bit of an enigma:
Was this one of 36 different colonial designs proposed,
or was it a total of 36 medals struck of this 1 design?
So seldom seen, with no other similar Colonial known by
this bank, I believe it to be the latter.
Extremely Fine.

The U.S. Navy's first nuclear-powered submarine was
authorized by Congress in July 1951. Admiral Hyman G.
Rickover, "Father of the Nuclear Navy", planned and
personally supervised its construction. On 12
December 1951, the Department of the Navy announced that
the new vessel would carry the hull number SSN-571 and
would be named Nautilus - making it the fourth U.S. Navy
vessel officially so named.
On 14 June 1952,
Nautilus's keel was laid at General Dynamics' Electric
Boat Division in Groton, Connecticut by President Harry
S. Truman. On 21 January 1954, she was christened
by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, wife of Truman's
successor, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and was
launched into Connecticut's Thames River. Nautilus
was commissioned on 30 September 1954 under the command
of Commander Eugene P. Wilkinson, U.S.N.

The McKinley Inaugural Badge
Dusterberg, in his Official
Inaugural Medals,
wrote: "The 1897 committee preparing for the
installation of William McKinley produced a badge of
superior quality. It includes a finely executed
medal that attaches to the rest of the device by a
clasp. When detached from the badge, only an
indentation in the upper rim of the medal reveals it was
intended for use in that manner."
This example is as struck, a beautiful badge and bar,
the original silk ribbon slightly parted at the top bar.
