specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 9:39 pm Quite a coincidence that I got both of these items today at the LCS. Going through some unsorted detritus that had built up while one of the staff was out, I came across this medal. I recall reading a previous write-up from Commemm about pieces like this: Then as I was looking for a Lincoln half in the classic commemorative tray, I stumbled across this guy, and the album toning in hand is just beautiful. The photos don't give it justice. I think this coin's new home will be in my Dansco 7070 since my commemorative type set has exclusively untoned coins so far. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12258 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 10:46 pm A very nice pair of LCS pickups! Congrats! I think the medal and coin make a great pair of commemoratives for the Stone Mountain Memorial - the medal showing the "end result" of the massive carving, and the coin depicting more of a "what might have been" scenario. Here's a link to my earlier post that you mentioned: https://goccf.com/t/119791 I should note that these medals were struck by the US Mint and the Medallic Art Company. Your medal does not include the "P" mint mark, thus making it one of the MACO specimens. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
