Up for sale is a medal produced by the New Jersey firm of Whitehead and Hoag of the Oregon Trail Memorial Association (OTMA). The medal was produced in 1947 but bears the dates 1860 – 1935 and was intended to celebrate the 75 year anniversary (diamond jubilee) of the Pony Express service. The obverse shows a pony and rider. The rider carries the mail and is armed with his trusty six-shooter. The reverse shows a relay station where a tired pony was allowed to rest up and the cargo was carried onward by a new rider and a rested pony. The medal is known as a so-called half dollar because its size and theme are similar to U.S. commemorative half dollar coins produced in that era. Please view photos and feel free to ask questions

Our Chief Grader, Bill, finished in the top of the ANA Summer Seminar Advanced Grading Class. This class is taught by senior graders at PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. He is also an authorized dealer for these grading services.
