NEED HELP ON 1893 COLUMBIAN EXHIBITION TOKEN
Ray Niblett
The World's Columbian Exposition had many numismatic features. The United States
Mint exhibit in the Government Building featured a coining press that struck thousands
of brass souvenir medals, which were offered for sale at 24 cents each.
Sounds like you have one of those.
