bill Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 A number of events celebrating the end of the Spanish-American War were held around the country and may produced medals and badges of various sorts. One elusive piece for so-called dollar collectors is a 14 mm, gold-dollar sized medal, HK 643. I am particularly taken with the wonderful dove on the obverse with an olice branch in its beak. I finally acquired an example in its orginal badge. I actually acquired two pieces with different style crosses encasing the medal. The second went to a friend for his collection. The other cross was signed "J. H. Diehl, Philadelphia" and I suspect both were made by Diehl based on another Lord's Prayer piece I have in my collection.

thedeadpoint Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 That's wonderful, bill. Love the colors that are still vibrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 And a larger medal, also a so-called dollar. I'm not specializing in this event, only the two so-calleds. There were many other badges and souvenirs issued that one could collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
