ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF MY HK-679 NGC GRADED MS 64.

THIS EXAMPLE IS TIED FOR THE FINEST LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 9/2019,

I AM FROM SAN ANTONIO, TX. SO THIS MEDAL IS SPECIAL TO ME. PURCHASED FROM JEFF SHEVLIN. THANK YOU JEFF FOR SELLING THIS TO A SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS NATIVE.

JEFF AND CIL SHEVLIN CAME TO VISIT MY WIFE AND I IN SAN ANTONIO A FEW YEARS AGO, AND WE WENT SIGHT SEEING. I TOOK THEM TO MISSION CONCEPCION THAT IS PICTURED ON THIS MEDAL, AND SEVERAL OTHER HISTORIC SITES, OF COURSE INCLUDING THE ALAMO AND THE OTHER SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS. ALL OF THE MISSIONS ARE ACTUALLY STILL CATHOLIC PARISH CHURCHES, EXCEPT FOR THE ALAMO.

I WOULD LOVE TO OWN A HK-679A AND/OR HK-679B SILVER AND GILT VARIETIES OF THIS TYPE, BUT THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE.

Bruce, your bronze piece is fantastic.  Here's a Copper-coating gilt piece... I got this in trade at the 2019 SCD gathering...
