Description | Alan V. Weinberg comments: While this silver membership medal commemorates the Centennial of South Carolina in 1837, the society issuing the medal existed well before as this member's society entry was clearly in 1828. Theoretically, there should be a very early, totally hand-engraved society member's medal but I've not seen one prior to the die struck version which is rare. |
