<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Denis Richard, post: 26058950, member: 112673&quot;]Time to post your coin club medals.</p><p><br /></p><p>I came across this 1965 medal the other day, commemorating the inception of the Richmond Hill Coin Club the year before. As the reverse says, Richmond Hill had a reputation as the Rose Capital of Canada, a position is held until the 1980s. The coin club didn&#039;t last anywhere near as long, but the medal is celebrating it&#039;s 60th birthday this year. I&#039;ve attached a newspaper clipping from July 15, 1965, about the club&#039;s celebration and it was quite an event. They mention presenting a medal, and it sounds like this one, but I&#039;m not positive.</p><p><br /></p><p>The medal&#039;s in pretty good shape. I assume they gave it an antique finish and some type of coating, but I&#039;m curious what kind of die issue caused the shadow on just the &quot;ose...je fle&quot; letters.&nbsp; Equally odd is the letter &quot;E&quot; in THE on the reverse. A filled die?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1658267[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1658268[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1658271[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
