1962 Medal D1962-2c, MacArthur Small Bronze

Coin Details

Description

This 1962 bronze MacArthur medal, also cataloged as D1962-2c, represents a variant of the compact MacArthur commemorative tracked separately from PCGS #75952. The distinction may involve surface finish, die state, or other physical characteristics that warrant separate census tracking. Both entries share the D1962-2c Duster designation and small bronze format. Such catalog variants are common in U.S. Mint medal programs, where production runs spanning multiple sessions may include differences in die polish, striking pressure, or surface treatment. General MacArthur's medal series reflects the enduring public fascination with one of America's most consequential and controversial military figures — a man who rebuilt Japan as a democracy, was fired by his commander-in-chief during the Korean War, and seriously pursued the Republican presidential nomination. The small bronze format ensured MacArthur's medallic portrait reached the broadest possible audience.
