Near TOP POP, only four graded “PL” and none finer in “PL”, four certified in higher grades. Rare not holed as many are seen. The photographs don’t detect it, but it has highly reflective fields. The obverse design of the Liberty Bell is similar to Key’s Liberty Bell designs from the 1876 Centennial Exposition, but they are not the same and are of somewhat lower quality, but likely engraved by Key. The U.S. Mint had an exhibit at the exposition, and the authors believe this was likely a U.S. Mint engraved product struck at the exposition. Reverse legend commemorates the loaning of the Liberty Bell from the City of Philadelphia to the Exposition of New Orleans in 1885. Struck in White Metal, unsigned. Sold by Warner. 37.68 mm. 16.94g
