HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25282 Posts	Posted 09/13/2023 8:52 pm Thank you, Captain. That one is not mine - just an auction I'm watching. This one is mine, although it hasn't arrived yet. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1970 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 3:45 pm Society of Medalists Issue #74, December 1966. Thomas Jefferson. Sculptor: Ralph J. Menconi. Per the Artist's Notes: Quote: The irregular shape and handmaid quality of the medal reflects the very early medals and coins of the Republic. . .that period before and up to the Declaration of Independence. The patina-- a deep, rich brown-coppery color reflects these early pieces. The obverse includes the famous first sentence from the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence: The reverse includes the heading of the Declaration as it was drafted and signed: Menconi's notes also includes his descriptions of the symbols used: Quote: "A young Miss Liberty represents the emergence of a new nation. . .The Mayflower. . .symbols of the British Stamp Act. . .the Boston Massacre [represented] by coffins from a poster the colonial propagandists used to promote anti-British feelings. . .Appearing on the coffins are the initials of the five slain men, among them a C.J.A-- Crispus J. Attucks. . .and The Boston Tea Party. . ." Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell complete the tableau. Edited by cptbilly 09/14/2023 3:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25282 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 6:48 pm Back in the '70s, a cousin who lived in MA invited me and his younger brother to visit - the summer of the Boston Tricentennial (?). We visited Walden Pond, and it was one of the most serene places I've ever been. Also went to Salem...
