ANA Edition reader Pete Acampora writes:

I'm attaching photos of a glass "coin" I picked up late in 2017.

1892 GLASS CE Experimental Medal slab

The "E-57A" number on the NGC slab is a reference to the Eglit work on Columbian Exposition tokens and medals. I've never seen one of these glass medals before. Would any of our readers have more information? Thanks. -Editor
