<B>1913 400th Anniversary of Discovery of Florida, HK-661, AU58 Uncertified.</B></I> Silver-plated brass, 34.9 mm. Little information is known about this piece, other than Hibler and Kappen considered it "rare" in their 1963 reference. At the lower left edge is W. & H. CO., with NEWARK, N.J. at the lower right edge. It is more than likely that this medal was the work of Whitehead and Hoag Company, which was located in Newark and manufactured medals, among other products, about this time. The current example sports clean surface and intact silvering. To illustrate how difficult this medal is to locate, consider that NGC has only certified six examples in all grades (8/07). <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
