Author Name: chickie maxwell

The SmithsonianStore is a rich source of collectibles inspired by the various exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution. Here are some of the best of them:

America s Lost Masterpiece Coin. Created from planned designs for a proposed $100 coin created by coin designer George T. Morgan, who was the Chief Engraver for the US Mint, the $100 Union Silver Proof is struck in .999 pure silver and is encapsulated in a plastic slab with descriptive label. The Silver Proof also comes with a certificate of authenticity booklet and a velvet pouch. The original design can be viewed in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History s National Numismatic Collection, which is the largest such collection in North America with 1.6 million artifacts.

Autographed Enola Gay Model. This handcrafted model is ideal for display in executives offices or as a gift for any aviation enthusiast. The highly detailed duplicate of the famous B-29 Superfortress features the signature of Theodore Dutch Van Kirk, the navigator of the Enola Gay and Morris Richard Jeppson, her assistant weaponeer. The original Enola Gay can be viewed in the National Air and Science Museum s Boeing Aviation Hangar.

150th Anniversary Civil War Coin. This specially-handcrafted solid antique brass coin was minted to mark the 150th anniversary of the four year Civil War and depicts the flags of the union and confederate armies, rifles, sabers and hats on the front and a classic battlefield scene on the reverse superimposed with two bugles and a cannon. The collectible comes packaged with a special collector's box that features photographs of both confederate and union soldiers, including a rare image of John Wilkes Booth wearing a complete Confederate uniform. Civil war memorabilia can be viewed in the various exhibitions held as part of the Smithsonian Institute s Civil War 150, a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War that also includes an online exhibit.

24K Space Shuttle Orbiter Model. This diecast model memorializes the retirement of NASA s space shuttle fleet and is plated in 24k gold. Authenticated for authenticity by the curators of the Smithsonian, the model is mounted on a display stand and comes packaged in a collector s case. The set also comes with a 12-page booklet that describes the famous space missions during the shuttle s history. A 1:14 scale model of the entire space shuttle system can be seen in the National Air and Space Museum, where the space shuttle Enterprise is also the centerpiece of its space collection.

Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage Signed Copy. This book celebrates masterworks of Alaskan Native Art and includes stories and essays from distinguished scholars and elders from Alaska s native cultures. The richly illustrated volume features works such as basketry, weapons, masks, beaded garments and carvings, and is autographed by author Aron Crowell.
