A gem specimen from an ever-popular private series. NGC CERTIFIED.
At the time Smith's medals were issued, the US Congress was
putting an end to US commemorative half dollar coins. Smith may have believed
he could fill a void in the marketplace by creating commemorative medals that
were roughly the same size. Smith's medals were slightly larger at 32 mm in
diameter to avoid running afoul of the US Government. The Battle of Lexington,
the Daniel Boone, the Lindbergh, the Antarctic Expedition and the Pony Express
pieces were all originally issued prior to 1947; Whitehead and Hoag re-struck
these medals for Smith from the dies they had used in prior years.
