bill Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Over the past year, I've acquired three items around the theme of Pilgrims. It is related to my interest in the Massachusetts Bay Tercentennary. The first, silver-plated so-called dollar from 1870 (250th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims): The so-called dollar was struck by Scovill Manufacturing in Waterbury, Connecticut. They used a modified version of the obverse die for a store card about 1895: A related mirror, but I suspect this one dates to 1920. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 What is that last.... medal? Didn't Franklin consider the turkey a stately bird fit for our national coinage? Were there any coins that depicted turkeys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 What is that last.... medal? Didn't Franklin consider the turkey a stately bird fit for our national coinage? Were there any coins that depicted turkeys? The last one is a mirror back. Hard to photograph a mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
