Lot 3279		1904. Louisiana Purchase Expo. HK-306. NGC graded MS-62. Octagonal, brass, 33 x 33 mm. The obverse of this medal bears a crowned bust of Louis IX resembling that on Isabella quarter; also noteworthy is that on the reverse the legend bears the word "coin." The U. S. Treasury Department was asked by the exposition organizers to rule on both points but apparently no action was taken. However, after "less than 25,000" round medals were sold, "a large order" was placed for one of octagonal shape. Almost concurrently, the company disappeared following its failure to secure either official recognition or concession privileges and so the octagonal issue was bought up by souvenir and coin dealers. Most medals bear serial number on the reverse, round ones under No. 25,000, octagonal ones over No. 25,000. Pop 2; 3 finer. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
