ARTICLE EXPLORES ORIGINS OF FRANKLIN, WASHINGTON AND HUME MEDALS

MCA Advisory v11n5 The latest issue of The MCA Advisory (Volume 11, No. 5, June 2008) features a great article by Tony Lopez exploring the connections between three important eighteenth century medals:

  • 1776 David Hume
  • 1777 Franklin of Philadelphia
  • 1778 Washington "Voltaire"


Tony had learned of a possible connection between the medals while reading John Adams and Anne Bentley's Comitia Americana book. His detailed article (illustrated with color images and closeups) proves the connection and posits a common source.

The MCA Advisory is a great source of information for researchers and is interesting to read. Where else will you see the word "immixtion" in print? For more information, see: www.medalcollectors.org
