JOHN WAYNE CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDALS:
Attention All 'John Wayne' Fans
A VERY RARE FIND!
I just acquired a small quantity of the...
United States Mint's John Wayne's Congressional Gold Medals...
"John Wayne is not just an actor, he is the United States of America"....
The bill for John Wayne's gold medal was introduced to Congress
by Duke's friend, Senator Barry Goldwater on May 22, 1979.
Part of Goldwater's testimonial included these words:
" John Wayne has dedicated his entire life to America
and I am safe in saying that the American people have an affection for
John Wayne as they have had for very few people in the
history of America".
There were many testimonials given in Washington that day,
asking Congress for the medal. Congress approved the bill
and President Jimmy Carter signed it.
Production of the gold coin by the U.S. Mint started in May, 1979.
The medal was
presented to John Wayne's family at the Capitol on March 6, 1980...
