commems CCF Master Historian of Commemorative Coins United States 12614 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 2:26 pm Quote: Another reason for Barry Goldwater to have his name across the "Authenticity " Document Is it possible you are thinking of Barry M. Goldwater, Jr. and his association with the National Collector's Mint? The senior Goldwater - the former US Senator and 1964 US presidential candidate - was not, to my knowledge, associated with the Franklin Mint. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

Nells250 Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 5:02 pm Found this info in the 1975 Annual Town Report: Quote: A medal commemorating the events of April 19, 1775, was struck by The Franklin Mint under a contract with the Committee. The design for this medal was selected from the many suggestions proferred to the Committee. The medal was struck in 1) vermeil 2)sterling silver and 3) bronze, and was sold through a corporate entity established by the Committee for this purpose. The sale of the medals during the Bicentennial Year generated a profit which, in accordance with the Committee's commitment to the Town, will be returned to the General Fund under a motion to be offered at the 1976 Town Meeting What in the world is "vermeil"? Quote: In a nutshell, vermeil (French for silver, pronounced ver-may) refers to a variety of gold-coated metal. Report this Post to the Staff
