<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1421938, member: 29751&quot;]Hi Cazkaboom, I sent you a PM with a link that describes them a bit.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Briefly, these medals were minted from 1959-1978 (20 years, 3 medals per year = 60 total designs).&nbsp; The US Mint stopped their commemorative series in 1954, and these were struck to fill the void and intended to commemorate important historical events in the USA.&nbsp; They are mostly struck in very high relief, and they can be had for reasonable prices in very high grades.&nbsp; For the raw San Diego commemorative I posted I paid $28 including shipping.&nbsp; The designs are very beautiful on many of the pieces, and the mintages were restricted (in general) to around 6,000 pieces for each design.&nbsp; It is thought that for many of the pieces, a lot have been melted down as &quot;junk silver&quot;, but exact survival rates are unknown.&nbsp; It is generally thought that pieces from 1969-1978 are harder to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>This site has helped me with information:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.heraldicartmedallions.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.heraldicartmedallions.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.heraldicartmedallions.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
