I'm attaching photos of a glass "coin" I picked up late in 2017.
Pete caught the headline of the "Coins Made of Glass" article in an earlier issue, but that was about an artist crafting comtemporary alternative currency. Above and
below are the images he sent. -Editor
The "E-57A" number on the NGC slab is a reference to the Eglit work on Columbian Exposition tokens and medals. I've never seen one of these glass medals before.
Would any of our readers have more information? Thanks. -Editor
