Commemorative Coin Catalog |
|
| In 2002, council
member Jack Skaggs took it upon himself to commission a commemorative
coin for the US Marine Corps Coordinating Council of Oklahoma to
be given away as a memento of the Marine Corps birthday luncheon. This started a tradition of creating a commemorative coin for the annual Marine Corps birthday luncheon that is funded by individual coin donors, separate and distinct from donations received for the support of Oklahoma Marine Corps units. These coins are given away to each attendee at the conclusion of the Marine Corps birthday luncheon. |
