Set completion congrats @jabba!
Very nice! !! Reminds me of the trials for the dollar before the Suzi, I think.
Those are really cool. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice... Congratulations on completing the set.... Cheers, RickO
A collection that I never would have thought of doing.
Outstanding and congrats!

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
@jabba Congrats on a great set. Those ribbons look to be in great condition.
@Tibor They look the same because both are by Frank Gasparro.
Thanks @Zoins I had the set complete months ago and the last badge was in my glove box because I checked the mail before work and forgot to get it out of the car when I got home. my driver side lock wasn’t working and we have not had any problems with car prowling but then that night they got into my car took all the pocket change and my badge 🥵. I would say it’s totally my failure but why do some people have to be scum bags! So it took a few months to track another nice one down. Never leave anything of value in your car including pocket change! Thank goodness they aren’t expensive!

BTW I don’t normally collect ANA medals or badges but I felt this set was the most beautiful of all the years super high relief and a timeless design the other badge I have is the 1959 Beaver badge for the beaver collection only 1000 minted and no medals that year

To me, that actually is a medal, like the kind the military wear, but the terminology is interesting to think about.
The badge term can be used when the top rectangle with the person’s name is attached but your 1969 medals seem to be missing that and the 1959 medal’s photos are cut off.
Does the ANA still issue medals with ribbons or badges?
@Zoins the ANA calls the medals attached to the ribbons badges and the medals with out ribbons are called the medal sets I can understand the confusion as military calls the ribbons and medals 🎖

And some years like 1959 there where badges but no medals which is to bad that would have been a nice medal set
