DICK JOHNSON WINS MCA CARL CARLSON CATALOGING AWARD MEDAL

Our regular contributor Dick Johnson received an award as well. Congratulations! -Editor

The Medal Collectors of America awarded D. Wayne Johnson (our frequent writer "Dick Johnson") their Carl Carlson Medal Thursday, August 9 at the Philadelphia ANA convention. It is awarded annually for cataloging medals in the numismatic field.

The medal, formerly cast as an organizational medal, was created by medallist Alex Shagin. It was made into a 2 1/2-inch (64mm) die recently; this is the first struck piece from that die. It was customized by date 2012 inscribed on the obverse and the name of the medal and the recipient's name on the reverse.

Dick did not have time to send a close-up photo of the medal, but had an oil painting sent showing him holding the medal.
