1909 Wright Brothers Homecoming Pin Sterling

This is a very well handmade, exact museum quality reproduction pin in Sterling Silver of the Wright Brothers School Children Coin for the 1909 Welcome Home Celebration June 17-19, 1909. The coin got this nickname because the schoolchildren of Dayton sold this coin for a nickel to raise the funds to have the homecoming parade.  The coin was originally made from bronze and some were silver plated. This reproduction is sterling silver.
