Item Description
My hubby was a Vietnam Vet, which is why I believe he purchased this. They are still being sold on the Mint website Vietnam Veterans Bronze Medal 3 Inch - US Mint for $160 for the 3" and the 1.5" is $20, so it would be $180 for the set. Regarding the medal case, on the web site, it states "Order enough to hold your entire collection of bronze medals or include it with a three-inch medal as the perfect gift for a collector" which makes me believe you do not receive a case with purchase. The similar case sells for $35, so to purchase this set from the Mint would now be $215.
The set is in pristine condition, box is perfect, and the velvet box is rich, the superior quality of some of the Mint products. The only "defect" I can find, is the plastic piece that holds the medal in place for shipping is no longer crystal clear.
I am selling this together, 3" Medal, in case, and 1.5" Medal.
I've included the stock pictures from the mint, they do a better job at displaying the actual medal.
From the Mint Website:
- Bronze medal duplicate of Congressional Gold Medal awarded to Vietnam Veterans
- Measures three inches in diameter
- Minted at the Philadelphia Mint
The obverse design depicts U.S. combat troops engaged in a helicopter assault operation. The helicopter and troops are superimposed over a map of Vietnam. The inscription “VIETNAM VETERANS NATIONAL MEDAL” encircles the design. The reverse design features the inscription “IN HONOR OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE OF THEMSELVES IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE DEMOCRACY AND PEACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THIS MEDAL IS STRUCK BY ACT OF CONGRESS 1984.” A vignette including an eagle, shield, American flags, the Capitol dome, and stars anchors the inscription.
