FEATURED WEB PAGE: U.S. MINT'S SEPTEMBER 11TH MEDALSThis week's Featured Web Page is an earlier E-Sylum article about the U.S. Mint's medal commemorating the events of September 11, 2001. I understand it is now one of the mint's best-selling medals of all time, and rightly so. It's a great design that deserves wide distribution.
The new official U.S. Mint medal commemorating the September 11, 2001 terror attacks has gone on sale. Some of the proceeds will be used to help fund the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum near the former World Trade Center site in New York. Kudos to the U.S. Mint's Donna Weaver and Phoebe Hemphill. for an inspired obverse design. The flame of Lady Liberty's "Lamp of Remembrance" recalls the flames seen from the World Trade Center towers that fateful morning. This effect is more obvious in the image of the struck medal than the original artwork unveiled earlier.
