Commemorative coin marks eclipse
From T-shirts to hats, the
souvenir trade is in high gear
in an effort to commemorate
the August 21 total eclipse.
Mountain High Coins in Bend
has tapped their long-standing
expertise to create a unique
artifact of the event: a black
nickel challenge coin fea-
turing a specially colorized
image of the eclipsed sun’s
corona with a map of the path
of totality across Oregon on
the reverse.
“We did the black nickel
route to keep the price point
down ($20 as opposed to
$125),” said Colleen McGrew
of Mountain High Coins. She
also noted that, unlike silver,
the nickel presents no issues
with tarnishing.
They’ve also created
T-shirts with a design that
changes color in the sunlight.
M c G r e w ’s p a r e n t s ,
Michael and Carolyn Graham,
lived for many years on
Holmes Road east of Sisters
and they’ve operated
Mountain High Coins in the
same location on 3rd Street in
Bend for the past 25 years. A
family of numismatists, they
have broad interests and exper-
tise in all manner of coins
and also in estate jewelry.
The idea for the commem-
orative coin hearkens back
to a similar run they made in
honor of the Bend Rockies
several years ago.
“We sold out,” McGrew
said. “It was huge.”
She and her husband, Dan,
who designed the eclipse coin,
thought there would be similar
interest in a unique souvenir
of the eclipse. They’ll have
their products at eclipse events
in Madras and on the coast.
