Art piqued my interest and as he notes, these are not expensive. In no particular order except as I acquire them and get around to posting them.

1991 Centennial Medal, designed by N. Neil Harris.
Mintage: 225 in bronze

Art
Nice medals and badges. I really don't understand why more people don't collect these items. The artistry is wonderful and they are relatively inexpensive.

Fantastic design. Nice collection.

Thank you. I just picked up another 11 badges from the Paul Kagin collection (his badges from ANA conventions). One of these days, I'll get them photographed and posted. I'm behind because of another writing project.
