<B>1958 Coeur d'Alenes, HK-515, MS63 NGC.</B></I> Silver-plate with antique finish, 38.1 mm. Struck to commemorate 75 years of hardrock mining in Shoshone County, Idaho. Spokane Stamp Works struck this Richard Magnusson-designed medal. Coeur d'Alenes, loosely translated from French to English, means "heart of the awl" or "pointed heart" and refers to the Shoshone Indians' unwillingness to trade with French trappers in the early years of that settlement. A mere 1,900 pieces in this metal were produced for the event, and few have survived in high grade. Census: 3 in 63, 5 finer (8/07). <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
