hiho Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 1933 Chicago World's Fair, Century Of Progress, A&P Carnival. Two types were issued, the laughing pig, HK-464 (HIHO) and the smiling cow, HK-464A (CHEERIO). Here's the cow... I'll post HIHO the pig when I remember to take the photograph...

Snowdesk Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 That's a great token! I could easily get talked in to collecting 'Century of Progress' stuff. I have a few things already but I have not seen this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I've not let the bug for these issues bite me, but I do like them. Among the most fun designs ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I won another Century of Progress SC$ from the same auction, the Italian Exhibit Dollar (HK-471) which I will post when I photograph it. The relief on this coin is amazing, it reminds me a lot of a Swiss Shooting Medal. And it's MS65, a true gem. I also won a 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition – Montana SC$1 (HK-409), I have lusted after that one for years. And HIHO the A&P Carnival pig, well that coin had my name written all over it... Constanius - I'm not sure who T.S. is but he designed both medals. Someone here will know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
