Eight 1941-1945 U.S. Treasury 90% Silver Patriotic Service Medals 30c Attractive and unusualThere isn't a ton of information out there on these nifty medals, which is odd because they are such a terrific little snippet of history. My understanding from the bit of research I did was that these were given as awards to sellers of of World War II War Bonds. Each medal weighs appx . 70 toz giving the lot a gross weight of 5. 6 troy ounces and 5. 04 Net Pure ounces.
