I’ve been searching for this medal for the last few weeks. Below is the obverse (I will post the reverse image in a later post). It’s struck in 24KT gold.

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!

One more time….
Remember Pearl Harbor “Homefront” Pocket Coins
Sneak peak of an exhibit I’m developing. It has the actual magazine with the first ad ever that advertises these “pocket coins”. Not shown is a discovery that I made of a new variety.
See https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/WCM/CoinCustomSetView.aspx?s=12054 for the results of my original research.
2M-310 and 2M-311 Father (now Saint) Damien
Another trifecta in the Maui Coin Club (MCC) medals (silver, bronze, and aluminum) series. This is the 1978 MCC medals.
I’m venturing a guess that these MCC medals predates 2M-80 thru 2M-83 (struck to celebrate the 100th anniversary memorial of Saint Damien). However, the 1976 Molokai Municipal dollar seems to be the earliest Hawaiian numismatic item to have an image of Saint Damien.
Each of the medals mentioned would make an interesting exhibit
The MCC medals are incorrectly sized in Medcalf & Russell as 40 mm (it’s actually 38 mm).
