Important Note: This is not a public sale. BECC medals are normally sold to eligible Boeing persons by private sale. Please read "BECC Medals Information" below.

The Boeing Employees' Coin Club has issued distinctive medals featuring a Boeing product or products most years since the 50th anniversary of The Boeing Company in 1966. These medals are issued in silver, pewter, and bronze (and beginning in 2012, copper), with a proof-like (mirror-like) finish (except for the new copper medals), and are widely collected by BECC members, Boeing employees and retirees, and other persons interested in aviation and coin club memorabilia. Since the BECC is a non-profit organization, the medal prices are reasonable, although higher in recent years due to higher silver prices and higher production expenses.

Below is the total number of medals remaining in inventory. Medals can be purchased from the medals committee.

S = silver, B = bronze, P= pewter, C = copper.
2007 Tanker (28 P); 2009 Kaydet (13 B); 2011 DreamLifter (41 S, 52 B, 18 P); 2012 KC-97 (37 B, 28 P, 48 C).

The BECC membership selected the KC-97 Stratotanker military transport, first flown in 1944, as the Boeing product to be represented on the 2012-dated club medal. Members selected the KC-97 from among three top vote-getters at the general membership meeting held on March 23, 2011. Dave Buehler and Alan Van Horn presented nine Boeing products. Members voted via secret ballot during our evening meal break. BECC Secretary Terry Kamm counted the vote totals and provided the results to Alan to announce to the membership. BECC members previously were asked to submit ideas for the next BECC medal design by March 4. Other ideas included the Model 40A mail plane, cruise missile, JDAM and 747-8 Intercontinental. Update: Members selected the desired view of the airplane from among 11 photos presented at the April 27, 2011 meeting, and the approved KC-97 design is shown at left.

The Medals Committee decided the BECC will produce 200 silver, 150 pewter, 150 copper and 150 bronze medals with the 2012 design. A flyer with current prices was developed and attached to the club's monthly newsletter beginning in September. Update (August): We have finalized the design for our 2012 medal. GSM has polished the die and is now proceeding with the minting process. Medals order forms are now available from the club. I would like to thank all who have participated in the making of our 2012 medal. - Alan Van Horn. Photo: Trial strike with reflection of the photographer!

Revised Art! BECC members at the April 2010 club meeting selected the Boeing 747 Dreamlifter for the club's 2011 medal. BECC Medals Chairperson Daryle Hawkins presented three different views of the Dreamlifter so the BECC membership could choose the artwork for the medal at the May general meeting. Daryle reported that the final design (shown at left) has been approved by Boeing and the design will now be sent to the Golden State Mint to start the medals minting process. See some interesting facts about the Boeing Dreamlifter.

Update from the December 2010 board meeting: Greg and Del reported that the pewter medals are still being minted at the Golden State Mint. Processes are in place to get back on schedule. A new run of pewter is going to be used to improve the quality of the medals. Del sent some medals back to the Golden State Mint for review; to improve the minting process. Greg provided an up-to-date medal sales accounting. Several medals have been mailed; some mailings included a wooden nickel for the 2011 coin show, featuring the medal design.

At the March 25, 2009 BECC meeting, club members selected the P-8A Poseidon as the Boeing product to feature on the club's 2010 medal. Medals chairman Jim Bell developed specific design concepts to be voted on at the April meeting, and the resulting design is depicted here (with the actual medal below). This is the first BECC medal to feature an aircraft carrier and naval ships in addition to the airplane. Eligible buyers could request order forms from the club, and medals delivery is complete.
