U.S. Flags and Flowers Series, No. 1 - The Flag

Brief Description

The coin/medal features a design incorporating the U.S. flag. The text "U.S. FLAGS AND FLOWERS" and "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" are visible. It appears to be part of a series, indicated by "No. 1 - The...". The specific imagery for "The Flag" is suggested by the visual of flag-like elements.

Historical Significance

This item appears to be part of a privately issued commemorative series (possibly from the New Orleans Mint, as indicated on the packaging, though not a federal U.S. Mint issue for coinage). Such series often aim to celebrate national symbols, history, or culture. 'U.S. Flags and Flowers' suggests a focus on patriotic themes combining national emblems with state or national flora. Being 'No. 1' in the series, it likely represents the foundational element, the U.S. Flag itself.

Estimated Value

Highly variable, typically ranging from "$10 - $50" for common silver or silver-plated commemorative medals, depending on specific metal content, rarity, and collector demand. Without more specific identifying marks (like weight or purity), a precise value is difficult. As a privately issued medal, its value is primarily in its metal content and collector interest, not face value.

Care Instructions

Store in its original protective packaging (plastic sleeve) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Avoid handling the medal directly with bare hands to prevent oils and dirt from tarnishing the surface. If cleaning is absolutely necessary, use only methods recommended for fine silver or the specific metal composition, but generally, it's best to avoid cleaning commemorative medals unless done by a professional, as it can decrease collector value.
