1893 Auburn NY Centennial (on Finger Lakes)

#1 · December 22, 2013, 4:40 pm

I was lucky to purchase this unlisted SCD piece commemorating the centennial of a small town of Auburn NY on the northern end of Owasco Lake (of the finger lakes). I think this 38mm piece parallels/companions HK-612, a SCD commemorating the centennial of Seneca Falls NY in 1887, where Seneca Falls is situated one "finger" lake to the west. I personally love the finger lakes region with its beautiful countryside, fruit orchards, and outstanding white wine (excellent white Riesling grown by Herman Wiemer Winery (www.wiemer.com)). Does anyone have this piece in bronze and/or want to post a HK-612 photo ?

I have noticed that the Trans Mississippi HK-284A obverse of 1898, is virtually identical to an 1874 Cincinnati Ohio Industrial Exposition Obverse, R-OH-CI-60. Both have a female figure standing tall with out-reached arms, implements of industry below her arms, however different obverse legends, and different reverses.
