Any coin celebrating veterans or the military will work. Private rounds count too!

@Zoins ... Wow... I have not seen one of those before. As a collector of Navy memorabilia I am surprised... will have to research that one a bit. Cheers, RickO

Great research and findings!

Looks like these may have been done during Russell Andrew Jack's tenure at the Metal Arts Company founded by his father. Do we know who the designers and engravers of these are?

Russell Andrew Jack
1912 - 2003

WILBRAHAM - Russell Andrew Jack, 91, of Wilbraham, went home peacefully to be with the Lord on Friday, July 18, 2003. Born in Rochester, NY on July 6, 1912, the eldest of the late John and Ruby (Bornkessel) Jack, he lived more than 90 years in the Rochester, NY area before moving to Wilbraham last November. From 1928 to 1970, Mr. Jack was Vice President of the Metal Arts Company, Inc. of Rochester, NY, a family business founded by his father.

Unfortunately no. Thank you for providing the information on Russell Andrew Jack. My research continues...

By the way, one of my interest is focused on Pearl Harbor related tokens and medals. During my high school years in Hawaii, I would peer out the classroom window and see the US Navy ships in Pearl Harbor.

The obit mentions Russell Jack's father was John, and I was able to find him on the same site:

John L. Jack

John graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania where he met and married Martha in 1942. He was a commander in the U.S. Navy, in the Naval Reserves, and served in Alaska. He was president of Metal Arts Company and Campus Crafts Inc. One of his favorite pastimes was being with his fellow antique dealers and friends.

By the way, one of my interest is focused on Pearl Harbor related tokens and medals. During my high school years in Hawaii, I would peer out the classroom window and see the US Navy ships in Pearl Harbor.

This is a great historical piece. I think Pearl Harbor is fascinating.

I love Hawaiiana and have collected a few pieces. The highlight is probably some original hubs from Robert McNamara's Hawaii Statehood medal. For made on Hawaii pieces, I follow the Royal Hawaiian Mint and Maui Trade Dollars, including the ones by Heidi Wastweet.

Here's information on some Hawaii and Alaska statehood medals made by Metal Arts Company.
