21hhdw.g ((PYRITE SUN)), $10 MINIMUM BID, Sparta, Illinois, 5.5 x 5 x .2 cm, Miniature | |
These were a stable for years of operation of the coal mines in Sparta. Then disappeared when Obama shut them all down permanently. Then Trump opened up the industry and a new coal mine started producing them again. I am not sure status with the Biden administration. The new ones have a slightly different look. This is an old one from the no longer existing mines in Sparta permanently closed and flooded. ex Dana Willson MD collection #461. |
