Medal Bars from the MAX

This year's MAX Show had a nice selection of medal bars to choose from. I was fortunate to add these two bars to my collection. Hope you like them.

Best regards,

Hi Tom, I saw the first bar and almost bought it. I didn't see the second or it would have been mine.

Both are magnificent! IS the first one ID'able?

I reckon that is why 'twas posted here, Paul.

Tom: When is the medals bar book coming out?

I certainly hope you acknowledged Rick after he identified the owner of the bar on the cover?

VERY impressive bars!

I saw them both at the MAX. The White Falcon is untraceable as this grade of the rolls do not exist. As for the second I tried like heck to find the guy and no luck.

I didn't post them here to get them identified. A friend of mine asked me to post them here as he said the members of this forum have more of an appreciation for medal bars.

The medal bar book will be released on October 16th.

Of course I acknowledged Rick. Not only in the acknowledgment section, but in the text and by chapter endnote as well. I know of no one more knowledgeable and helpful on this subject than Rick.

Best regards,

Tom

Hi,

2 very nice bars. I was fortunate enough to see both of these bars in person shortly after Tom bought them.

Unfortunately, we both agreed at that time that these bars would not be identifiable, beauties none the less.

i was able to pick up a bar or two from the gentleman

who was selling these bars, and found ALL of them to

be of fine quality and generally quite excellent condition.

thanks for the great pix!!
