Collectible coins encompass a variety of numismatic items, including historical coins, commemorative coins, and medals. The term "medal" typically refers to pieces struck for commemorative purposes, distinct from standard currency. In the context of the United States, coins and medals often celebrate significant events or individuals in American history. The Pan American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York, in 1901 commemorated international achievements and featured various medals, including those designed by notable artists like Charles E. Barber and others. Lavin likely refers to a specific individual or company associated with the production or distribution of coins or medals from such events.
