A Continuing Thread ~ Post Your Tokens, Medals, Exonumia Acquisitions

I recently picked up this medal, it's supposed to be a tin/lead alloy but had kind of a strange but attractive red color to it. Seems to be coming off the high points, I don't know if it was painted with something?

No guessing about what this one is about, it spells it all out for you in the legends!

Picked up this "Good For" in a box of junk. I have no clue what the 6099 is.

I think it has been a year since I have added something to my medals collection. I was so taken by the posts from NumisEd and DrDarryl and their Pearl Harbor medals that I went on a hunt to find an eaxmple for my collection.

I turned up a pretty nice example, ungraded, but quite lustrous on the obverse. The reverse shows the mottled appearance as in the post from NumisEd.

This example has the copyright text.

Nice example! Brilliant design, I've not seen one of these before.

Nice Medals. Here is some additional information to print out and go along with the Remember Pearl Harbor medals including the ad ($6 per 100! bronze, 45 cents for sterling silver) and some photos - it was initially made available 69 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
