It took 5 years 8 months I have found the 1946 Membership medal I would like to thank everyone who kept an eye out for me! I would also Like to thank Lakesammman who let me buy one of his re-stick I will get some better photos posted when I get them together.

I don't own it but I've been looking for 5 years (Not the 1963 Medal HK-573) Oregon Numismatic Society 1946 Membership Medal

HA.com quote from the 2008 Long Beach Token and medal Auction
"Oregon Numismatic Society 1946 Membership Medal. Bronze. 1946 membership medal from the Oregon Numismatic Society's Oregon Beaver Dollar. This piece should have been included in the 1963 so-called dollar catalog by Hibler and Kappen alongside HK-573 and it just might be in the new catalog coming out in 2008, listed as HK-573A"

I recall member Lakesandman might have posted one here in the last year?

Lakesandman??

I own the dies and had a few restrikes made - and posted a ANA badge with a similar design (below) - but don't have an original 1946 ONA badge.

I'm surprised to see that from HA. I haven't seen any coin club medals catalogued in HK. Are there any or have have they confirmed they are going to add some?

That's really cool Lakesammman! Congrats!

I think Heritage made a mistake I don't think this will be an HK number, there is a HK-573a and I believe its a silver version of HK-573.

Lakesammman, if you work with Dan Carr, it might be interesting to have a medal struck with selective gold plating like this one:

I previously owned a 1946 O.N.A. member medal that had been mounted to a money clip. Sold it to an exonumia specialty dealer.

Wow -- that is cool!

He did make a bimetallic version for me, but that gold PikePeak version is really nice!

Neat.

I think it is awesome that you own those dies. Wow!

Here is the HK-573 I track down that I like, also I might have a line on the 1946 Medal I've been looking for since 2008!

That's a cool piece and a nice use of the dies! I haven't seen any other bimetallic pieces from Dan so it's good to know he can make them.

The Pike's Peak is one of my favorite DC pieces.

I don't classify those coin club medals as "bi-metallic" since they are actually both selectively gold-plated on a solid copper base.
There were, however, a few of the Colorado Springs Coin Club medals struck over bi-metallic casino "Silver Strikes" that first had
the silver centers replaced by pure copper blanks prior to the final striking.

The only other true bi-metallic items I've produced are these Astronaut $2 concept coins (solid 999 silver center, with solid brass ring):

Thanks for the explanation and the mention of the CSCC medals and Astronaut coins. I'm aware of the Astronaut coins (it was my first avatar here), but somehow it slipped my mind when thinking of bimetallics recently.

Nice work
