1967 Medal C. Weiser Coin Club Bronze 35mm Medallic Art Co., NY

Coin Details

Description

This 35mm bronze medal produced in 1967 by Medallic Art Company of New York commemorates the C. Weiser Coin Club, a local numismatic organization named after Conrad Weiser (1696-1760), the colonial German immigrant who became one of the most important diplomats and Indian agents in colonial Pennsylvania. Local coin club medals represent a grassroots tradition within American numismatics, with clubs commissioning medals to mark anniversaries, conventions, or simply to produce a lasting emblem of their organization. The 35mm bronze format is a practical, affordable size for a club medal distributed among members. Medallic Art Company's willingness to undertake commissions from small local organizations alongside their prestigious institutional and governmental clients demonstrates the breadth of the firm's business model. These local club medals, while modest in comparison to MACO's presidential inaugural medals or corporate commissions, represent the foundation of American medal collecting at the community level and document the social networks that sustain the numismatic hobby.
