Congratulations to Garry Moore!
One goal for Hawaiian collectors/numismatists is to promote the hobby. This in-turn increases the number of new Hawaiian collectors/numismatists to pursue this life-long hobby.
Garry Moore has accomplished this at the 2016 ANA National Money Show in Dallas by sharing his Hawaiian numismatic knowledge and exhibition prowess. He put the Hawaiian collector/numismatic on the National ANA scene!
Garry has:
- Won 1st place in the Class 2 Economics category with an exhibit titled: Token Appreciation: The History of the Hawaii School Lunch Tokens.
- Won 2nd Runner-Up for Best -in-Show
Great accomplishments! Congratulations to Garry on the 2016 National ANA-level wins!

2M-313 is Cupro Nickel
Based on what I noticed with the 1979 Maui Coin Club Medals, Medcalf & Russell may have incorrectly identified the medal as aluminum for 2M-313. Why? I have a cupro nickel version of the medal in my collection
The cupro nickel is on the left and the silver is on the right.

Milk Token – Advertising
When I was researching the history about the Dairymen’s Velvet Ice Cream token, I saw that Meadow Gold Dairy has often referenced Dairymen as a legacy part of its heritage.

Here is a 1992 Meadow Gold/University of Hawaii/AM 76 KGU advertising “milk token”.
2M-361 25th Anniversary Pearl Harbor
Most of the Franklin Mint issues have information that can be used to trace the original sculpture. Here is an example of an 2M-361 from a dispersed set. Also note that this medal is identified as proof (not identified in M&R as proof).
