My first commerative coin. Funny story, I purchased one of these off of Ebay. When it showed up, I knew it was counterfeit. The size was huge, and it weighed double. I got my money back, but lessen learned the hard way. Do your homework first.
I'm enjoying this series.

The Philadelphia exhibition, which was considered to be a world's fair, was also a colossal failure, experiencing embarrassingly low attendance. Some of the exhibit buildings were never finished and the city and organizers lost millions of dollars.
