James C. Curtis hakkındaki bazı bilgiler doğrulanmamıştır.

James C. Curtis Memphis, Tennessee'de bir posta müdürüydü. 1970'lerin başında posta tarihindeki önemli olayların anısına on iki madalyondan oluşan bir set hazırlattı. Bu, koleksiyonculuğu teşvik etmek ve gelir elde etmek amacıyla yapılmıştı. Sterlin olan ilk madalyon dışında madalyonların her biri .999 Fine Silver, Nickel-Silver ve Bronze olmak üzere üç tür metalden üretildi. ABD Darphanesi madalyonları Postane adına basmıştır. 1 Oz'luk gümüş yuvarlaklar prova benzeri bir yüzeyle sınırlı sayıda üretildi ve her birinin kenarına seri numarası verildi.

Some of the information about James C. Curtis has not been verified.

James C. Curtis was a postmaster in Memphis, Tennessee. In the early 1970's he commissioned the production of a set of twelve medallions commemorating major events in postal history. This was done in order to promote collecting and generate revenue. Apart from the first medallion which was sterling, each of the medallions were produced in three types of metals, .999 Fine Silver, Nickel-Silver, and Bronze. The US Mint struck the medallions on behalf of the Post Office. The 1 Oz silver rounds were produced with a proof like finish in limited quantities and each one was serial numbered on the edge.
