HK-120, commemorating the Centennial of the Battle & Massacre at Fort Wyoming. A lesser known engagement during the Revolutionary War between Patriot Militia and British Loyalists and native allies, commemorated more for the number of Colonial casualties (and the resulting "outrage" due to incorrect reporting of the figures) than any importance as a strategic event. Choice Uncirculated, certified NGC MS-62BN, struck in Bronzed Copper (listed in H-K as Bronze). Scarce, with a report of only 324 struck in this composition (one source says 300). NGC population of 31 pieces in all grades as of Jan. 2026. A nicer piece than the grade indicates, with attractive brown slightly Prooflike surfaces. Important due to the upcoming celebration of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence, which will likely increase interest in all commemoratives of the 1876 Centennial period. Dies by to George Morgan, although unsigned; confirmed by Morgan in publications distributed with some of these medals, which also attested to the number struck as shown above. Likely one of the semi-private issues produced either directly by the U. S. Mint under private contract, or whose dies were engraved by Mint employees working on the side. Please note that due to value this will require shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.
The Boilerplate (read at your option, but it helps):
NO AI. I write my own descriptions and know what I am talking about – unlike a lot of ebay “dealers” who use the tech to give you a description that blathers on and says NOTHING about whatever they happen to be selling.
Actual item shown. All raw (uncertified) coins are guaranteed genuine, in perpetuity, backed by our firm’s 80+ years in the business, plus all the industry “garden salad” (PCGS, CAC, NGC, ANACS, ANA, etc., etc.). Grades stated for uncertified coins are based upon my 35+ years experience and are typically based upon those used by PCGS. However no actual specific “number” can be guaranteed should a coin be submitted for grading by any service, as their standards are based upon market rather than technical grading, and even they do not necessarily agree (which is why CAC exists).
Grading is one thing – a customer’s opinion of quality is another and may differ from my own. Unlike many other dealers I understand this reality. For that reason I have no problem with accepting a return within the listed return period, for which I pay. If you have an issue for any reason with anything you purchase from me, feel free to contact me to work out a reasonable solution for both of us.
I am happy to combine shipping for multiple items, typically by refunding the excess after shipping. Ebay has made it too difficult to combine shipping prior to payment due to policy changes regarding non-paying buyers.
If you have any questions, please email. Please note our hours below and if needed contact us at least 24 hours before close of listing. Buy or Bid with confidence: we have a heritage to 1937, and loads of good eBay Feedback, where I have been selling since 1997. Good Luck & Good Hunting! Tipsico Coin, Mon.- Fri. 10 AM - 4 PM MST.
