Museum Artifact: 1983 Moral Majority Coin Set in a Velvet Box

moral majority

The museum has many things related to Jerry Falwell (1933-2007) such as a 1996-97 Liberty University application package and a Moral Majority paperweight.  This is a really cool item that financial contributors to to the then-powerful, now-defunct pressure group of Reaganism, the Moral Majority. The group fit into Falwell's view of a macho Prince of Peace ("Jesus," Falwell told his flock, "wasn't a sissy"). The coins come in a cheap but showy velvet case.  Below is the cover of a Chick tract parody of Falwell I'm working on.
