I'm interested in coin club medals, past and present. While I've seen many coin club medals, I'm not sure who many of the medalists are. I'm aware of Dan Carr and Alphonse Kolb. Who are some other ones?

Dan's Moonlight Mint website.

Here's an article on Alphonse Kolb and his Wikipedia page for some more information on this upstate NY medalist who lived in Rochester and made medals for the Rochester Numismatic Association and Syracuse Numismatic Association.

    CoinZip: That's a cool medal. I looked up Hart David Mayer (1914-1998) and he was a coin and antiques dealer in Kansas City, MO. Here's a link mentioning him. Was he also a medalist that made or designed that medal?

    Here's a bio excerpt with added punctuation:

Joe was an accomplished die engraver and sculptor and minted medals since the 1970s. He received a presidential appointment to the United States Assay Commission in 1973.
