The 2026 Daniel Carr Madison County Coin Club Medal

The Madison County Coin Club of Huntsville, Alabama, will once again have Daniel Carr, proprietor of the Moonlight Mint, produce medals for the club. These 2026 medals are octagonal in shape and are 41mm in diameter.

The club's 2026 medals offered to the public are:

a one troy ounce .999 silver medal with a serial number on the edge,
a copper medal, and
a copper piedfort.

I ordered the 4 coin set.
For the club's silver jubilee, the club will have four 41mm octagonal medals minted. They are:

1. a copper medal,
2. a one troy ounce .999 silver medal,
3. a copper piedfort, and
4. a two troy ounce .999 silver piedfort.
5. piedfort medals. Piedfort medals are twice as thick and heavy as standard medals of the same diameter

The maximum mintages are as follows:

• Copper: 100
• Copper Piedfort: 60
• Silver: 50
• Silver Piedfort: 35 (available only as part of a 4 medal set)

 

It is interesting to note that the silver piedfort sold out in a day and a half.

The silver medal took longer -- 3 days.

 

Here's an image of the silver medal.

 

I got my medal a few days ago. There are quite a few errors on the medal. I wish I had something to take a picture of it but I don't have anything to take a picture. There appears to be blobs on the date of the medal. What is really noticeable is the doubling on the letters on the outer edge of the medal which is very extreme. It starts at the "S" in MADISON and goes all the way to the "L" in ALABAMA. There is also what appears to be a shadow around Lady Liberty and the stars. The shadow looks like clashing but it doesn't match up with anything on the back of the medal. I contacted someone at the MCCC News Letter who told me the coin probably shifted while it was being struck. I can see how that would cause doubling but I'm not sure how that would cause blobs on the date. He offered for me to exchange the medal for one that doesn't have errors on it that would look better. It is a difficult decision. I would prefer to have one that is nicer looking but there may also be more collector interest in one that has errors on it. I'm curious if these errors are common on these medals or if there were not that many medals made with these errors on it. My medal is numbered "44."
