1919 Interallied Games Swim Medal

Description: NORMAN ROSS (SWIMMER HALL OF FAME RECIPIENT) 1919 INTERALLIED GAMES 1ST PLACE 800 METER SWIM MEDAL

The Inter-Allied Games was a one-off multi-sport event held from June 22 to July 6, 1919 at the newly constructed Pershing Stadium just outside Paris, France following the end of World War I. The host stadium had been built near the Bois de Vincennes by the U.S. Military in cooperation with the YMCA. The event was only open to participation by military personnel who were currently serving or had formerly served in the armed forces during the War. Around 1500 athletes from a total of eighteen nations participated in the proceedings which featured nineteen sports. Following the conclusion of the games, Pershing Stadium was presented as a gift to the people of France from the United States of America. The area, still known as Le Stade Pershing, continues to be used as an open air recreation park to this day.

1978 Canadian Cent Reverse Die Cap Error

1978 Canada One Cent, Elizabeth II, deep reverse die cap error, Red & Brown Uncirculated [uncertified].Holy moley is this thing cool! Sorry for my sudden display of enthusiasm, but it is true. This coin tells a story - a story of a wayward planchet that deformed greatly and then somehow got past the legendary Canadian mint quality assurance personnel. If this was on a US coin it would sell for multiples of this price. If the next owner wants me to have it slabbed by either PCGS or NGC, I will do so at my cost. But quite honestly - it is quite fun to examine it "in the raw". $895
