Yes there was a number of different historical coins minted. Trout Hall in Allentown Pa is also a museum, they have my great grandfathers picture on display! Was thinking of buying the trout hall just because ... but I really want the family history coin!

Grandfather was a Colonel in the civil war and was responsible for moving the liberty bell from Philadelphia to the Zion church in Allentown pa to keep it from being melted down.

I’ve got a ridiculously large, and very geeky Bicentennial Memorabilia collection.....
But I’ve never seen one of those.
If I ever come across one, it’s yours.
