These came in 1 oz and 1.5 oz .999 silver and in bronze issues. Made by Medalic Art, Rochester N.Y. Obverse of silver, Reverse of bronzes.

 

Not really a medal but thought was pretty cool when I bought this.

 

Nice, I have this one too. Interesting story on this one. Here's a pic of the original drawing by Morgan, they found it behind a drawer in his old desk. I still consider it a tribute medal. No test pattern coins were struck, or dies prepared by the U.S. Mint. I think the drawing is in the Smithsonian Institute.

 

2000 Gallery Mint Concept Dollar.........really like the look of these!!

 

Very cool. That'ss the 2005 first year version. Should have the $100 denomination on the reverse. They had to remove the denomination on later years. I have 2 of the 2005 1oz gold versions. Fyi, the eagle design is not a George Morgan design. Only the sitting liberty sketch was found in his sketchbook

 

I tend to favor the art deco when it comes to exonumia/medals, which means I see a lot of aviation medals (relatively speaking). This one is not exactly art deco, but was the coolest aviation medal I'd seen. A must buy even though I have NO idea about it. The engraver is Charpentier-Mio if anyone can shed some light.

 

I believe the proper numismatic term for that is plaquette...ok...I'm done being a stick in the mud!

I freak'n love it!

 

My dear Mother-in-law gave this to me. One of my favorites. 1408 grains Sterling.It's got a nice mirror finnish.

 

Along the flag motif

 

A good day for flags guys!

 

You're right about that, Jack. I can't think of any coins I have with a flag on it, but I'll look around.

And a big thank you to you and all other active military and veterans out there. We wouldn't be here without you.

Yep from a Nam anchor cranker, All vets and current members of our services Thanks for your service, and for all those that paid the ultimate price!

 

All the best to all the Vets. This day is dedicated to all who have given so much, and continue to do so today. My Father left this medal for me, he was in the U.S. Navy.

 

Finally pulled the trigger on this 60mm medal this morning.

 

Got a group back from PCGS yesterday, and I thought I'd share. Mostly Civil War tokens, with a Hard Times and Washington Medal mixed in.


HT-M21/Low-366 MS63BN - I was really excited to see this one come back with a straight grade. With how nit-picky the TPGs have been, I was worried I'd get questionable color or cleaned.


Fuld OH-860A-1a XF45BN - I got most of the crud off this one before I sent it in. I was worried to work too hard at it and risk scratching the flan.


Fuld OH-860C-1b AU55 - Kinda bummed this one didn't slide. I'll most definitely be on the lookout to upgrade this relatively common piece.


Fuld NY-630BV-1a AU58BN - I bought this one specifically to have the reverse imaged to use as a pictoral in my Fugio book, illustrating the minting technology of this era. Pleased with the grade - I had this pegged in the XF/AU range.


Fuld 127/201a MS62BN - I had a GTG thread for this guy, and stumped some folks. I have a white metal example at PCGS as well, but I am very pleased with the grade on this one. I knew it would be borderline.


Fuld MI-525D-4a VF35BN - This is from my grandfather's collection, the only Civil War token he had. I still have thousands of cents and nickels to sort through, but I wanted to get this one certified for the family collection. I know there's someone out there that is big on Jackson, MI CWTs.


Fuld OH-445A-4a MS63BN - Oh the color on this one! I knew it would be uncirculated, but am thrilled it got a straight grade. Steel blue and brown make this one lovely in hand, and the imaging was wonderful.


Baker 22B Washington Born Virginia Collis Restrike, 1959. I have completely fallen out of love with this one. The color and grain toning are neat, but the next owner will enjoy it. It already got kicked to the "thinning the herd" pile.
