Actually it’s the second, but these foolish phantoms fade from any useful memory so quickly it hardly matters what the actual count is.

Believe it or not, Major D, but I’m seeing this as a sort of minor victory. After all, this is only the first troll we’ve had a visit from since He Who Shall Not Be Named “left the building”, so to speak.

Well now, you sure are reading a lot into a chat about medals while at the same time trying to be me- certainly says a lot about you and your wistful imaginings.

yall should date atp oml

Why thank you sir! Knowing that your space medals are silver I would surmise they must have a really nice look going for them, not to mention that always awesome “off-planet” theme.

A good looking medal! I have several 1.5-inch silver Mercury and Apollo medals from the 60’s made by Spacecraft Medals

And for purposes of general edification, the reverse of same…

Well, Major D, that’s a point well taken, and that attraction added to the theme and design was more than enough reason for me to pick up the New Frontier Bronze Medal, 1.5 Inch Diameter version, and at a time when it was still going for $6.95 instead of the current price of $20.00 each. Even the case for that size medal goes for $15.00 now, which is roughly three times what I once paid for that adjunct item.

Hey Kaiser. I actually like the look of the bronze on many medals, but not necessarily the designs. Numismatically (for the reasons mentioned) I cannot rationalize buying any- especially at the inflated prices. This suffrage one has no mint mark and no strike date just like most of the other medals- so nothing that identifies who made it and when.

You gave me a really good chuckle there, Major D, because from what I am able to discern thanks to your comment there might not be much of anything at all about the Mint’s bronze medals that in any way appeals to you.
