Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee 801 Ninth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20220 CCAC July 30, 2013 The Honorable Jack Lew Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Lew: A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (Committee) was held on Tuesday, July 24, 2013, at United States Mint Headquarters in Washington, DC. The Committee reviewed proposed obverse and reverse designs for Code Talkers Congressional Gold Medals for the Pueblo of Acoma Tribe, Hopi Tribe, Oneida Nation, Ponca Tribe, Tonto Apache Tribe, and White Mountain Apache Tribe. For the medal honoring the Pueblo of Acoma Tribe Code Talkers, the Committee recommended Obverse 01. The design received 28 of the possible 30 scoring points through the Committee’s design evaluation process. Reverse 03 received a perfect score of 30 points through the evaluation process and is, therefore, strongly recommended by the Committee. The Committee assigned 29 of the possible 30 scoring points to Obverse 03 for the Hopi Tribe Code Talkers and is, therefore, strongly recommended for this medal. Reverse 01 for the Hopi Tribe Code Talkers received the Committee’s recommendation by accumulating 28 of the possible 30 scoring points through the evaluation process. Obverse 03 for the medal honoring the Oneida Nation Code Talkers received a perfect evaluation score of 30 and carries the Committee’s strongest possible recommendation. For the reverse, the Committee strongly recommends Reverse 01. This design also received a perfect score of 30. The Committee subsequently recommended that the oval appearing in the lower middle area of Reverse 01 be removed to provide a cleaner design. The Committee recommends Obverse 04 for the medal honoring Ponca Tribe Code Talkers. This design received 29 of the possible 30 scoring points. Reverse 01 for the Ponca Tribe Code Talkers received the Committee’s strongest possible recommendation after garnering a perfect score of 30. For the medal honoring the Tonto Apache Tribe Code Talkers, the Committee recommended Obverse 01 after it received 29 of the possible 30 scoring points. For the reverse of the Tonto Apache Tribe medal, the Committee recommends Reverse 01. This design accumulated 23 of the possible 30 scoring points. The Committee assigned 28 of the possible 30 scoring points to Obverse 01 for the medal honoring the White Mountain Apache Tribe Code Talkers thereby giving it the Committee’s recommendation. Reverse 01 for the White Mountain Apache Code Talkers received the Committee’s strongest possible recommendation by accumulating a perfect score of 30 through the evaluation process. Sincerely, Gary B. Marks Chair
