Underwonder, nice find... 29 years and I never found one.... I buy scrap silver and gold and silver coins as a part time fun thing.. about 3 years ago, I bought 3 of these coins for scrap price and kept them.

Hello UW. Very nice find from a very interesting event. If you want to know more about it get the book "Devil in the White City" by Eric Larsen. It is a great read. Thanks for the post and Good Luck. C9
