All of these silver or silver over lead... there is also a tie in, although indirectly, to quite a few famous people, involving this rampant bear New Monte Cristo Mine Medal, and the Julian character that floated stock in the company. It seems that this Julian guy was feeding at a famous restaurant after major booze drinking, and encountered Charlie Chaplain - the ex husband of one of the women in his dinner party. He went over and slugged Charlie in the eye, while Charlie was sitting in a chair and had no idea there was any problem..... Charlie got up and even though smaller, proceeded to left right, left right Julian to the ground, and when Julian got up, Charlie knocked him down again. At this point, Julian's brother jumped Charlie, and Charlie then proceeded to smack the brother around. Also, Charlie Chaplain ended up marrying another famous lady - younger by a generation, by the name of OONA O'Neill, who was the daughter of the famous author, Eugene O'Neill. It turns out that another author, J.D. Salinger, was very attracted to Oona, and wanted her to be his soulmate (wife?)..... but Oona chose Charlie..... Oona went on to have 8 children with Charlie Chaplain, and J.D. Salinger later said of Oona, "Oona takes care of Oona", a somewhat bitter statement. So, here we have a medal that is caught up in history, involving stock fraud, mining, famous authors, and silent movies. (edited by Spencer on 1/7/2015)
