| Fancy Color and Tri-plated Recovery coins with Affirmations, Slogans, Images and encouragements that go great with just about any Recovery program. These "Fancy" or Tri-plated come with enamel paint fill on a plated medallion. Whenever this is all topped of with a smooth epoxy finish they are referred to as "Tri-Plated". A true "Tri-plated" medallion/coin is both gold and nickel plated along with the paint fill and epoxy finish but it more often has come to refer to any colored medallion with a smooth epoxy finish. In this category here you will find our popular Custom "Painted" Medallion that is really a "Painted Plated" medallion though we thought it fits best in this category than any other.

There is evidence that early on many people in AA carried personal momentos to remind themselves of the importance of their sobriety. Clarence H. Snyder - "The Home Brewmeister had his last drink on February 11, 1938 and he carried this medallion made from a silver dollar and a watch fob up until just before his death on March 22, 1984. It has been dated back into the mid-1940's, if not before, and the holes represent 46 years of sobriety. Clarence started AA group #3 in Cleveland in 1939, and in the beginning had a higher recovery rate than Bill and Dr. Bob combined. His story, "Home Brewmeister", can be found on page 297 of the Big Book.
