commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12252 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 5:51 pm In the early 2010s, I contacted the Northwest Territorial Mint (NWTM) on behalf of my local coin club regarding a medal project we were considering. After describing the potential project to a company sales representative, I was told I'd be sent a package with a price quote, production details and some NWTM samples. Within a week I received a large envelope from the company with the promised materials. One of the included samples was unexpected, but was perfect considering the company's business - the sales rep I spoke to sent his business card in the form of an attractive medal with selective enameld coloring on its obverse. The obverse featured the Bald Eagle logo of NWTM surrounded by a ring of hunter green enamel, and the reverse presented the rep's name and contact information. Brilliant! The NWTM produced some nice work, it's too bad it ran into financial problems that forced its sale. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Much more so than the typical card (of which I've received 1,000+ over the years!) Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

One of my vendors had a standard size business card made of wood veneer; his company logo & contact information was imprinted using a branding iron. Report this Post to the Staff
