<B>1909 Taft-Diaz Meeting, Spanish Reverse, HK-388--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details.</B></I> Copper, 38.1 mm, listed as "extremely rare" in the 1963 Hibler-Kappen edition. The judgment of NGC might be a bit harsh on this piece, since it retains much appeal as an example of the elusive Spanish Reverse design and does not appear harshly cleaned. Gold specimens were struck, with the English Reverse going to Taft, the Spanish Reverse to Diaz, and Hibler-Kappen comment that silver and copper medals "were presented to officials and guests, with those from Mexico receiving type with Spanish reverse. Latter, having been carried out of country, are of extreme rarity."<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
