[QUOTE="JPD3, post: 8136768, member: 116216"]The Edison National Historic Site Bronze Medallion was/is maybe still is sold at the gift shop in Menlo Park NJ. Can find them on sale on Ebay. [URL]https://nps.gov/edis/index.htm[/URL] The second/bottom item is from the American Legion convention in France, back in 1927. It is considered a Challenge coin, minted for that convention. "Calling themselves the Second American Expeditionary Force, some 20,000 Legionnaires traveled to Paris in September 1927 for the Legion’s annual conference." A rather large document was archived in a PDF file (170 + pages) by the American Legion of that particular convention. [URL]https://archive.legion.org/handle/20.500.12203/4872[/URL][/QUOTE]
