Description

The listing, Wheeling, W.Va. Bicentenial Coin 1769-1969 has ended.

Silver Dollar size Bronze metal.

A little history: French explorers in 1739 and 1749, the surveyor Christopher Gist in 1751, and George Washington in 1770 all came to eye the rich river valley. Celoron de Blainville buried a lead plate for the French at the mouth of Wheeling Creek in 1749. The first organized white settlement, initially called Zanesburg, dates from 1769, when Ebenezer, Silas, and Jonathan Zane emigrated from the South Branch Valley in the present Eastern Panhandle. The Zanes, their slaves, and their friends, including the Wetzels, Caldwells, Shepherds, and McCollochs, initially populated the Wheeling area.

Hi, Good Luck! This is not really a coin, you could not spend it at a store as it has no cash value. It is a collectors coin to celebrate Wheelings 200th. birthday as a city. But it is still a very cool coin.
