Very interesting!  I will need to add this to my list. I have several branches of German ancestry which came to Pennsylvania in the early to mid 1700s. This is from both my grandfathers. |

Fascinating commems. I never heard of this medal and learned a good bit from reading about it. I'm hopeful from your introductory paragraph this thread represents the beginning of a new series with a focus on these types of medals. @jbuck .... pay attention to the reverse details commems shares, specifically: Quote:
Dwight D. Eisenhower are positioned below and to the right of Einstein I'm willing to bet this is an Ike you don't currently have! |

World War II was just a minor misunderstanding among friends! And who can even remember WWI? Yes, what is a few million people killed or wounded between friends? |

I posted a comment. My second ever post at SCF. Thanks! I don't get too many comments over there - I don't think my philatelic interests are hardcore enough!  I do enjoy relaying a bit of US history with my posts, however. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Looking back, this proposal seems almost absurd.
