After WWII the US Department of the Treasury would award a civilian medal struck in .925 silver to individuals who worked in the process of selling of war bonds. My Grandfather was awarded one in Providence RI for providing the artwork for several marketing posters encouraging people to buy war bonds. He was actually employed during the war in lithograph and printing company but unable to serve due to hypertension. It has an engraving on one side of the flag raising at Iwo Jima and what looks like a Colonial soldier on the other side. It also has a cartouche on the back with his name engraved. It is quite tarnished, but I was told to never clean it for some reason. Its my understanding that they are not very rare nor valuable but as a family heirloom, it is quite priceless.

What is a 1941 Patriotic Service U S Treasury Award coin worth?

Unfortunately 1941-1945 U.S. Treasury Award coins aren't worth much more than their silver value. Each coin has .625 ounces of silver. There is a place on one side of the coin to engrave a name -- and most of these coins do indeed contain the name of the person to whom it was presented. Coins that do not have names are worth somewhat more -- but don't expect this coin to fund your retirement.
