DESCRIPTION

Gold Star Lapel Button E I F Authorized Act of Congress 1 August 1947 4OEA
Up for sale is a unique lapel button, the Gold Star Lapel Button. In 1947, Congress approved the use of the Gold Star Lapel Button as a way to recognize the families of military members who gave their lives while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States in certain operations defined by law. Even though this act was passed after World War II, recipients from back to World War I have received this. The Gold Star Lapel Button displays a gold star on a purple background bordered in gold and surrounded by gold laurel leaves. On the reverse is the inscription, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 1 AUGUST 1947 ACT OF CONGRESS. There is space for the family and next-of-kin to engrave the initials of the deceased if they so desire. This one is engraved with initials E I F. As this lapel button was issued some time from 1947 through the Korean War and it bears no other identity to the recipient, determining the person who received this is difficult.Please view photos and feel free to ask questions.

Lets discuss offers: If we have make an offer enabled, please make a reasonable offer. We try to pay a fair price when we buy coins,
so 30% off offers will be ignored. eBay makes more per coin when you buy it than I do.
If we do not have that option enabled, please DO NOT email us about a lower price.

Lets discuss feedback: We are not perfect. When we make a mistake, we will admit to it and fix it. We respectfully request that
you leave 5 star feed back to help maintain our seller fees low. Most people do not realize that 4-star seller
ratings make sellers fees go up. Please consider that when leaving feedback.

We use barcodes to track all our items. This is the little 4 character code, 4OEA, written on the holder.
Your item will ship in a nondescript box or bubble mailer with tracking, signature required, and insurance when necessary.
When ordering multiple items, order them together to save on shipping. Multiple items ordered separately may result in your order being delayed an additional day.

Of course, grading is subjective. It is simply an opinion. You know, everyone has one. We grade strictly in accordance with the ANA Grading Standard. Our Chief Grader, Bill, finished in the top of the ANA Summer Seminar Advanced Grading Class. This class is taught by senior graders at PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. He is also an authorized dealer for these grading services.

Terms & Conditions

  • Item Availability – Please note that we have a retail coin shop, an e-commerce site, an eBay store, and attend an average of two coin shows a month. Sometimes our inventory gets sold locally, and we don’t have a chance to remove it. If that happens, we will immediately refund your money. We are literally a small three employee business.
  • Postage – Please bear in mind that our postal charges include actual postage costs, and packaging which is AT LEAST $5 per package. Signature Required and/or Insurance is added on as needed. We do not ship internationally, as we had too many “lost packages”.
  • Dispatch Times – We normally ship your order via USPS Ground Advantage within one day of payment. Unless we are at a show, then the next business day. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with the tracking number. Your item will probably take up to five days for delivery. We ship thousands of coins a year, about 2% take up to 3-4 weeks. USPS will NOT update the item location in transit, do not expect them to. If the item is lost in the mail (this happens in less than 1% of shipments), we will contact USPS to get the issue resolved. We abide by the USPS definition for a lost item: ” not delivered within 30 days of shipment”.
  • Returns ONLY within 30 days– We really do not mind returns at all. However, administrative costs may require us to impose a 10% restocking fee. VERY IMPORTANT: We ONLY accept returns IF and ONLY IF the item has not been removed from the original holder we shipped it in. All items will be inspected thoroughly before a refund is issued. If you do not love the item, I encourage you to return it.
