WEARABLE CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDALSThe October 2022 issue of The Clarion from the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists (PAN) has a nice article by Harry Waterson titled "Off the Table - Onto the Chest" about the very few Congressional Gold Medals with authorized wearable versions. It's a lengthy and well-researched piece. Rather than puzzle out a way to excerpt it somehow for The E-Sylum, I thought we'd treat our readers to some numismatic eye candy - a photo gallery. See the original publication for all the details. Thanks to PAN and Harry for making this available. -Editor
