LAS VEGAS, .999 PURE, 1.2 Ounce Medallions, *RARE* HELLDORADO DAYS, 1776-1976 :
$3600.00
Hello folks, this is an extremely rare and unique 1976, Las Vegas Nevada, HELLDORADO Days Silver Medallion.
It was struck to commemorate the United States 1976 Bicentennial celebration. This medallion is only one of two that have been formally accounted for out of the original 500 medallions minted.
It appears that there are NO other medallions of this kind available on the WORLD WIDE open market at this time.
Own a piece of history that commemorates the United States Bicentennial year and the celebration of the 42nd Annual Las Vegas \"Helldorado Days.\"
This PROOF, .999 PURE SILVER Elk\'s Lodge #1468 medallion was struck by the Nevada, Mint Inc., House of Bronze in 1976. This was strictly a purposefully, very limited edition. This medallion weighs in at 1.2 ounces of pure silver. This is a HEAVYWEIGHT!
These medallions have a mirror like shine. They \"gleam\" like a silver beam of light. They are unreal. These are the greatest coins/medallions that I have ever had the pleasure of owning and selling. They are simply \"ONE-OF-A-KIND.\"
ONLY 500 of these fine SILVER medallions were minted. I presently own and have up for sale, the only two known silver medallions that have been formally accounted for.
I always thought that the United States Liberty Walking silver half dollar was the most beautifully designed coin in the history of the United States, and I still do. However, these Bicentennial Helldorado medallions come in a close second place. These medallions sparkel, but they have a ton of weight, at 1.2 ounces of silver. What\'s more, the lettering is bold and perfect. This medallion even FEELS like it\'s a perfect silver coin for the ultimate collection, which it is. This is a TOP collectors coin/medallion that will be a museum piece one day.
( As a side note, ONLY 1,000 solid bronze medallions were minted.)
HELLDORADO DAYS was born in 1935 and is now known as Las Vegas Days. This festival celebrates the city\'s historical western roots and is 4 days, filled with parades, rodeos, contests, and carnival fun.
I acquired this silver, proof medallion in 1976 and do not know of ANY other medallions, either silver or bronze, that are now available in the open market!
These are the ONLY 2 MEDALLIONS identified of the original 500 struck that have officially been accounted for.
On the obverse is a barrrel racing Cowgirl encircled by the words \"Bicentennial Celebration May. 1976\".
On the reverse is \"Good for one Nip Elks Saloon B.P.O.E. 1468\", encircled by the words, \"42nd Helldorado Las Vegas, Nevada\".
For the first time since acquiring this medallion, I am listing it for sale.
The medallion comes in its original vinyl envelope. I have had this medallion in storage for over 46 years.
Now is your opportunity to own one of the original 500 minted NATIONWIDE. This is a unique and truly rare TREASURE commemorating Western American frontier culture.
Thank you, and Happy Trails.
