Ever since I learned about it at the 2017 U.S. Mint Numismatic Forum I've been curious to see what the pink gold Breast Cancer Awareness coin would look like. A first strike ceremony was held at the West Point Mint on January 12, 2018, but I've been unable to locate coverage of it outside of the numismatic press. Legislation author Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York has a news release on her web site. I was impressed with the level of numismatic information until I realized the piece was a copy of an article by Paul Gilkes of Coin World.

I also came up empty looking for images of the actual coin on the Mint web site. But here is an image from the U.S. Mint as seen on the Coin World article. Follow the link to read the full article online. I learned that Paul made a special arrangement with the Mint to get the images, which are used here with permission. Great work! -Editor
