50th Anniversary Commemorative Medal
Overstrike Medals Information


     To celebrate the striking of our 50th Anniversary Medals Daniel Carr hosted a "Striking Event" for club members at the Moonlight Mint on April 21, 2012. In addition to observing and helping with the production of our satin finish medals, attendees were able to bring coins and medals to overstrike with the 50th Anniversary medal design. A total of 36 overstrike medals were produced.

    On June 23, 2012 Daniel Carr once again invited club members to an event at the Moonlight Mint to complete production of our proof finish medals. He also offered to mint overstrike medals for those who attended the event and 18 proof overstrike medals were created.

    As overstrikes, all of these medals are scarce with many being unique due to the coin or medal that was overstruck, its metallic content or both. Listed below is each piece that was overstruck at the two events.
