<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3090109, member: 71723"]Yes, the Red Rose Coin Club had a special privy-marked version of their annual club medal in there. The series is still alive today, although mintages are down. The 2000 ANA host year medal honored Harriet Lane, the niece of President James Buchanan who resided in Lancaster at 'Wheatland' and was his unofficial 'First Lady' during his term of office. The ANA show version was mounted in a dark green folder that showed the medal through a cut-out. The folder had historical info on the subject and the club. It was perhaps the zenith of the club's activity, and the treasury was quite flush. All banquet attendees got one. If you can wait a bit, I think I have some photos of one somewhere. Even when removed from the folder, the ANA version is unique by virtue of the ANA logo privy-mark. The medal is made by Keystone Mint in bronze in 39mm diameter, and with a cameo-style mirror proof surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am missing only one RRCC medal in bronze, the 1982 one.
