Here's a MACO medal struck in 1971 to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the first commercial sale of Springfield, Massachusetts' Duryea Motor Wagon Company "Motorcycles" (renamed "Automobile" in 1899 by the New York Times.) - 13 were sold. They represented the first commercially-produced American automobiles to be sold! (Unfortunately, the Duryea Motor Wagon Company went bankrupt just a few years later - in 1898.)   Early Duryea Automobile (Circa 1894) - Charles Duryea Driving Image Credit: Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division. Public Domain.)Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

@cptbilly: Thanks!
MACO medals have commemorated a significant amount of US history. Some well-known, some lesser-known. I enjoy collecting them!

Everhart's work has appeared on Statehood Quarters, Presidential dollars, Presidential Inaugural medals, and Congressional Medals. His wiki entry offers a fine overview of this prolific artist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Everhart  MACO was in Danbury, CT, at the time. " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. "
