Set Description
To collect medals from the Society of Medalists body of work beginning with Laura Gardin Fraser's Hunter- Ruffed Grouse in 1930 through the ending in 1995 with Geri Jimenez Gould's The Last Supper. Also including special issues.

Set Goals
A leisurely stroll through these beautiful and important American medals. My goal is to collect one of each, but if varieties are available will look at those as well. Using David Thomason Alexander's American Art Medals, 1909-1995 as a guide, as well as references from http://medallicartcollector.com/ and https://www.medalcollectors.org/discover/guides/society-of-medalists.
