U.S. MINT AMERICA'S FIRST MEDALS

Description: This very nice set of 2 U.S. Mint America's First Medals collection is a must-have for any coin collector. These were my fathers, now it is time to let them go. Crafted in the United States from high-quality pewter, these coins represent a significant era in American history, dating back to the Revolutionary War and commemorating the first & 5th in the series of 10 made in anticipation of the 200th Anniversary of U.S.A. # 1 is of General George Washington before Boston and his military actions of the Revolutionary War. This is a copy of the medal GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON received for the LIBERATION OF BOSTON IN 1776. The 4 page foldout that is unclosed describes this battle and the medal he received. The original was Gold. The next medal was number 5 in the U.S. Mints series of 10 honoring Major Henry ("Light Horse Harry") Lee, who was voted by the Continental Congress to commemorate his military actions of the Revolutionary War. Also originally struck in gold and presented to Major Lee. It was one of 10 medals designed by an American. The 4 page foldout includes this info. and more. Each coin is certified by the U.S. Mint, guaranteeing its authenticity and historical significance. Featuring striking designs and intricate details. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, these coins are an excellent addition to any collection. I believe these would be excellent gifts for any young person who has an enthusiasm for American history. To hold the coin in her/his hand while imagining the courageous battle for Freedom from Great Britain by these 2 gentlemen can not be gained in the classroom. These commemorative coins are not in mint condition. They have been stored in a cabinet for many years and are in very good condition. Thank you for looking
