ANOTHER NICE PROOF FROM A COLLECTION I AM SELLING. THIS ONE IS BROWN BUT HAS A LOT OF COLOR AND NOT MUCH SHOWS IN THE PHOTO. I'M ONCE AGAIN NOT DOING WELL TAKING PICTURES THROUGH HOLDERS. THIS IS AN EARLIER YEAR AND THE MINTAGE OF PROOFS WAS GENERALLY LESS COMPARED TO THE 1900S.

PLEASE NOTE:
I'm back as of May 7 for just an hour or two a day after my knee replacement surgery (What a wonderful treat!) but will get back up to speed as quickly as possible. It will still be a couple weeks at least before I can work full time again. Please ask about a special sale I'm planning--just medals: US and European fairs, 1893 Columbian Expo of course, 1851 Crystal Palace through Vancouver's Expo '86, non-fair medals, most very high grades, nearly all AT LEAST BU and plenty of gems and prooflikes as well. It's a great group and I've assembled 50 medals thus far and will continue to add items for the sale in the coming weeks.

If you drop me a note I can let you know when the sale is ready. It will likely not be before late June.

If your world's fair interest includes 1893 Chicago, please take a moment to stop by the WORLDS COLUMBIAN JOURNAL, my blog dedicated to just the 1893 expo. It is strictly an editorial site and thus ok to list per Ebay's rules. You can find it at www.worldscolumbianjournal.com If this link doesn't take you directly to the site please just paste it into your browser. Note there is no apostrophe in 'worlds' in the address.

I continue working on my 3rd book about the WCE, the comprehensive catalog of WCE tickets and passes, dozens of which have never been identified previously. It is not just a catalog, but a detailed history--lots of text as well as prices realized over the years, and so on.
