daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1082 Posts	Posted Today 4H 57M ago Even though I found it yesterday at the back of my desk drawer, I don't recall ever seeing this medallet, or even hearing of a "Peace Through Coinage" program. My online research hasn't turned up much: evidently it was struck by the Gallery Mint in Arkansas, but I can't identify an issuing organization behind it. This proof-like piece appears to be dated 2000 and is about the size of a US quarter dollar. It has the heft and feel of copper-nickel or some similar alloy. Can anyone fill in some background on who was behind this? I'm thinking it might have been sent in a fundraising mailing of some sort.

I found the same page referencing the Gallery Mint and see that all the links are broken now. However, I do also see a discussion about this piece over in cointalk from ten years ago that states: Quote: Ken Bressett used these as a handout piece at the 1995 ANA convention. It's a fun piece of history regardless.

Sap Moderator Australia 17032 Posts	Posted Today 2H 26M ago I would have assumed that "1995" would be the issue date, with "2000" being the date they were looking forward to the "peace" arriving. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
