Ok! I recently received my annual fund drive letter from the Pullman Educational Foundation and I thought it might be nice to auction off a few items to add to my contribution this year. The George M. Pullman Educational Foundation exists to provide scholarships and guidance to highly qualified but economically disadvantaged students in the Chicago area to help them achieve their dreams of a college education. I was fortunate enough to receive a Pullman scholarship when I was an undergrad, and ever since I have been very supportive of their efforts. To learn more about them, see their website at
http://www.pullmanfoundation.org/. As for these auctions, there are a number of interesting items, and I will donate whatever the proceeds are to the Pullman Foundation. I will also pay the shipping costs for all of the items to anywhere on the planet, so I hope you all might find something you like and bid generously! Thanks for your help!
The fifth item is a 1914-B Swiss 1-Franc silver coin. This coin is in good condition, but I have no clue on grading swiss coins! It does appear to have more wear than the 1903-B up for auction. It is 0.835 fine silver, about the size of a US quarter. See the photos below.
