Interesting pair of H&K 245s
Quote from bill on March 26, 2011, 9:49 pmA few years ago I bought a beautiful example of H&K 245 for an inexpensive price because the reverse had been struck something such as grease. I got a beautiful example of the state seal and a "damaged" reverse. The reverse was actually BU except it was a struck through, probably worth something as a coin, but less attractive as a medal. Then, a few weeks ago, I bought a mate. I'm not sure the link will work, but I'll give it a try: http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?/topic/29846-1894-midwinter-exposition-matched-pair-of-medals/page__pid__521629#entry521629 Does anyone else maybe have a third example?

Errors on SCD's are seldom seen. Bill, I really like your struck through Cal Midwinter official gold-plated pieces. Pretty cool and excessively rare.
