jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 839 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 08:37 am @TNG - I see that a few medals were released in this order: 1) Paul Revere 3) Patrick Henry 4) John Paul Jones 60) Bicentennial And the newsletter says that the "Bi-centennial medallion" was the only one available to the public (not by subscription), and it sold for $30.00 (which was about 4x the other medals). So I wonder what the market price is for the bicentennial medal now? Does it hold that 4x premium or is it all on par now? Report this Post to the Staff

My interest in medals is semi-recent. A lot of that interest was generated through reading TNG's medals and tokens thread. My LCS recently happened to get a few of these in, but not a full set. I am looking forward to seeing the rest here on this thread. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 7:49 pm The order of the checklist I provided is not the order these were issued. I really don't have an answer to the values of these. I collect medals with attractive artwork and in the themes of people places and events that I like. I do know that some seem to be more elusive than others. Some that have the more popular & famous people seem to get more money. Regarding the 1976 Statue of Liberty with 2 Diamond chips. I did just see several for sale recently. They are listed between 35 and over 100 dollars. They came in a box and apparently the box caused some unfriendly oxidation on some. I personally think that you could get one in nice condition for about $40.00 if you exercise patience. I would not keep it in the box if you get one, but store the box along with it.

thisistheshow Pillar of the Community United States 987 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 3:04 pm I went back and bought the last one my LCS had. This one is Samuel F.B. Morse I will post this and do a write up on him within a few days on TNG's thread. Edited by thisistheshow 02/14/2019 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 839 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 4:22 pm I'm awestruck by some of the images you have all posted. The clarity and detail honor these great medals. I don't have the equipment or skills to match your images, but I did the best my old shaky hands would allow! I'm about to upload 80 images - that 40 medals times two (obverse and reverse). I hope this inspires others to upload more and better pics of these old medals. Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 839 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 4:30 pm The Alamo - 1836 The medal captures a moment in the long battle - I like that the image fills the obverse with great detail. This is one of favorites in the series (and I have a lot of favorites here!). Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 839 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 4:34 pm Alaexander Graham Bell - 1876 - Telephone This medal honors Bell's invention of the telephone. I recently read that another man filed a patent for the phone on the same day - a few hours after Bell. Fun trivia! Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 839 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 4:38 pm Battle of Concord Bridge - 1775 This is another great medal where the design fills the obverse. I can't imagine what it was like for the "Minutemen" who grabbed their single-shot muskets and made their way to Concord to stare down "the regulars" as they marched from Boston. What a sight that was! I heard that families brought picnic baskets to the Lexington town green and watched the fight! Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 839 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 4:42 pm The Battle of New Orleans - 1815 Once again, JDL did a great job on this medal filling the obverse with an intense battle scene that really captured the moment. If I remember correctly, this battle came two weeks after the war was over but Jackson didn't get the news in time? Report this Post to the Staff
