The "Historical Medals from the Past: Part I" Story
It was another ordinary day. For the past few days I have been staring at bronze medals that line the side of my computer screen. They are photos that I took at a friend's house of the medals that depict scenes in Lancaster County, PA and were strikings from the Red Rose Coin Club. The club was started in 1958 and began making the medals that year. My friend has the entire collection even though he did not join the club until 1997. I posted a story about the medals a few days ago and wrote that I will feature a few coins in other posts and today I have selected six medals which I will picture and give you some background into the history of the event that is depicted. Many of the medals I have written stories on in the past and now the medal will "bring to life" the story that I had written.
These six medals are just part of my friend's collection. I will feature a few more in the next week to show you more of the history of my hometown, Lancaster. It was another extraordinay day in the life of an ordinary guy.
