A SILVER CAPE COD CANAL COMPLETION MEDAL

A web site visitor writes:

My name is Peter Thomas and I live on Cape Cod. In 2006 you bantered back and fourth with Mr Lee Childs, a jazz musician on a cruise boat who overpaid for a bronze 1914 canal commemorative coin made by Reed and Barton and said there was a rumor of 25 in silver.

I have discovered an article which talks of two in gold (Governor of Mass and Mr Belmont) and 24 in silver of which this is one...walnut case and engraved to a friend of my Dad's father who was a principal engineer on the canal,

Thanks for the images! Nice medal. Peter found an article in the October 1914 issue of Numismatist about the Cape Cod medal. -Editor
