Question on FM Medallions....

Year 2000 FM event medals...
1) 2000 Diecast Rally
2) 2000 Sturgis
3) 2000 Pebble Beach
4) 2000 Auto Festival (same design as 2000 Rally w/ different reverse)
The smaller (1.5 inch) Millennium FMPM and standard FM medals were given away at stores in late 1999.
More medals done in 2001.

The Auto Festival...
not familiar with two designs for the pebble beach medallion, or excuse me the AAF medallion. Could you elaborate? Or maybe they had two rally cars that year? Marco and Petie the Sheltie

The AAF medal ...
was the same as the 2000 Diecast Rally Medal except the reverse had text reflecting the AAF. The obverse had the Chevy Confederate and Bonnie and Clyde Ford. The Pebble Beach medal had the Packard and the Sturgis had a very plain outline of mountains on the front.
The 2001 Barrett Jackson and Sturgis medals have exceptional designs. Better sculpting than what most mints do for a medal they sell for a lot of money.

This was the 1999 Rally medal ....
it actually was an ingot. Late in 1998 FM was ready to offer a colored star trek minted pewter card collection. They had serious problems with the color and the program flopped. The same blanking tools were used to make the 1999 Bronze Diecast Rally Ingot and the 1999 Retail Desk Calendar Ingot. Both were free giveaways. FM finally did offer the Star Trek cards as a set of three and even then never finished the program..lol Luckily I was able to get all the pieces. FM's medallic material preparation could be seen from the hallway passing by the FM cafeteria. I could have easily sat there all day and watched them smelt metal and roll and cut medallic blanks. Such a lost art.
