Comitia Americana and Related Medals: Under Appreciated Monuments to Our Heritage
by John W. Adams and Anne E. Bentley
Published by George Frederick Kolbe, 1997
Beautiful book on a wonderful series. Its worth it for so many reason. but the photograph of Washington's original set of Comitia Americana medals in the original box commissioned by Thomas Jefferson is fairly special in and of itself.
Bill, I agree, this is a wonderful book. I have read it cover to cover a handful of times, and the already well worn condition of the book shows it.
After 40 years of collecting coins, medals and tokens, the book has prompted me to singularly focus only on collecting this series of medals. As John Adams states in the book, you are not only collecting medals, you are collecting history! I am also doing further research on the Howard medal.
