Owner Comments:

Tough to find this nice as many 67's have no character, luster, or pizzaz, and appear ready to retire to the numismatic graveyard. The Cleveland was designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Cleveland as a city. Designed by Brenda Putnam, a bust of Moses Cleaveland, the city's founder, appears on the obverse, while the insignia of the Great Lakes Exposition appears on the reverse. This coin has a wonderful satiny patina and an unusual crescent of ruby and emerald appears on the upper obverse rim, while golden color is seen around the remaining rim and legends. The reverse also has a satiny, yet lustrous patina colored in light gray/green with golden rims/legends. Extremely clean with wonderful eye appeal and CAC approved.

Provenance: WPE Collection.
