Here's a medal I have in my coin club collection from Charles Moore when he was president of the RCNA (then the CNA). Does anyone of specs on the medal? I know it's silver and I like the golden tone. It's quite unique with the uneveness, check out that rim! It's about 30mm across. Did he issue it in 2007? What quantity?

It looks to be a hand hammered token, not machine minted.

The date side of this token looks very similar to a Lasqueti Mint token that was commissioned by Charles Moore around 2007. Overall the token has the look of hand-hammered tokens made by Kyle Mutcher at that time.




I remember Kyle Mutcher was demonstrating his press at coin shows & banging out tokens for collectors. I have a couple samples of his silver tokens. The mintages were usually something like 100 to 500 & I'm pretty sure the silver planchets are sterling silver.

A photo of the medal was used in a write up for Chuck in the latest RCNA Journal. I'm sure the info must be out there somewhere, it's just a matter of finding the right person.

Scissel, that's neat about the Mutcher tokens - I'll have to find out more. I did find the Lasqueti Mint medal, but couldn't find any data linking the mint to this medal. Thanks
