    Does anuone have any information on this?

    Does anyone have any information on this I found with my IDX Pro.
    I think it reads one side..San Francisco Earthquake & Fire....Coins of the ? Scuvenir
    Other side...April 18,1906 It has silver plated and size of a silver dollar.I don't think it is silver all the way through.
    It was over 10" deep.
    Thanks Paul

    Bit more info...

    According to Hibler & Kappen's book So-Called Dollars, pp. 48-49, there is apparently no record of who designed and struck these medals. At least four varieties are known to exist: silver (with reeded edge) silver plated, brass, and aluminum.

    There are also a couple of related medals with Cliff House on the obverse. One shows the San Francisco Post Office on the reverse; the reverse of the other bears only a wreath & text.

    Forgotten but not gone.
