Description
Extremely Rare Ice Festival Medal
Truckee, California, HK-729
Truckee Ice Carnival, HK-729, VF20 Cleaned Uncertified. Gilt
bronze, "extremely rare," (HK-1963). According to the classic HK
reference, Truckee, California "was the first community on [the]
Pacific Coast to establish [a] winter sports program." Struck by
L.H. Moise of San Francisco, "apparently issued in early 1890s."
Presumably, few souvenirs were sold, and fewer still were saved.
This example has been aggressively cleaned and shows wear, but
finding another example will take a considerable effort. None have
been certified by NGC.
