Back to the site where I found that seated quarter (duh, who wouldn’t), and no more silver coins after a long hunt, but at least a sterling ring.

Then back to another site in my current rotation, an old site that has given up several Indians, and a handful of silvers, including 2 barber dimes, where I am certain I am going to get a real old silver, but today, a 1910 wheatie, a modern silver quarter, and a 1893 Columbus World’s Fair medallion to show for a morning of heat and bugs.

And some idiot drilled a hole in the medallion, presumably so they would not lose it. How did that work out for them?

I did find a picture of it online, but no info on rarity; it is probably a common one, and given its condition, its likely worthless even if a rare one.

Now, why couldn’t that 1893 medallion been an 1893 quarter?

Congrats on the silver GW quarter and the 1910 wheat cent! The Christopher Columbus medallion is the first I've seen like it; I wonder about the history behind it?
 
Cool ring. Looks like it's a small one. At first I thought it was a hunk. Then I noticed it's on your pinky. Still cool.
 
Yeah, that one actually looks to be pretty rare. I've seen and looked at a lot of 1892/93 Columbian Expo tokens/medalions/coins... and I've never seen that one.

You might have something there, even with the hole.
