Final Coin Challenge Hints for the Lamp

Perhaps you haven’t seen the Lamp Coin Challenge. Let’s look at the picture again:

Greater Atlanta Coin Show's Lamp Coin Challenge

The initial hints can be found at the Greater Atlanta Coin Show’s Coin Challenge – Lamp web page.  But, we’ve also added a couple of other hints to the Greater Atlanta Coin Shows Commentary on the More Coin Challenge Hints for Lamp entry last week.

Since the July monthly coin show is this weekend and this is not one of the better known coins, let’s add three more hints to the list:

1. Augustus Saint-Gaudens designed the historical medal upon which this coin’s design was based

2. The Public Law allowed no more than 500,000 of the coins to be minted

3. Counting both the uncirculated and proof versions, less than 150,000 coins are included in the population reports 

Do you recognize the coin with the lamp yet?
