Myers' Circumcision Medal Mel's illustrated talk will begin with the earliest known Jewish American medal, created in 1784 by the colonial silversmith Myer Myers to celebrate a circumcision. The talk will conclude with a dollar in the American Innovation dollar series – issued this year – commemorating the inventor of the first video game console (Odyssey), Ralph Baer.

Iskowitz Lincoln Cent Joel has felt a particular tie with the early 20th century medalist Victor David Brenner, particularly in that Brenner designed the first Lincoln Cent in 1909, while Iskowitz designed the Professional Life in Illinois" cent, third of the four cent designs celebrating the centennial of the Lincoln Cent in 2009.
