1881 PLATINUM MEDAL SOUGHT

  J. Moens of Dilbeek, Belgium writes: "I am preparing an article
  on the use of platinum for numismatic purposes.  W. Fuchs
  mentions in his catalogue a medal, struck in 1881 on the
  occasion of the International Cotton Exhibition in Atlanta.  This
  medal is said to show a train, and is supposed to be in gold-
  plated platinum.  Would any of the readers of the E-Sylum
  have more information on this medal ?   Can it be found in a
  public collection ?  Any information would be appreciated.
  Thank you for your cooperation."
