repj New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 01:02 am * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * I always hold up a doubloon collector sign at Mardi Gras parades and a few years ago a guy on one of the floats threw me this coin. I have been unable to gather any information about it and was wondering if you could help? Thanks, Jason Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 11:15 am That is a US Mint bronze medal, I assume you have the 1 5/16" size(there is also a 3" version). That medal has been reminted a number of times but yours appears to be a more modern iteration. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 190660 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 11:22 am I actually have that exact same medal. I bought it at the Gettysburg gift shop in 1982. I am not sure who made it, but I am certain mine a private issue (reproduction) and not a US Mint product.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 11:55 am Hmm, I have one just like it as well but mine is definitely mint-issued. Mine was purchased at the Lincoln Home in Springfield, IL as a kid in the 1980s and mine is also in a US Mint cello pack. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 3:58 pm Yep ... US. Mint product, this is. The Mint has continued to restrike many medals that were originally issued years ago; some, originally issued back into the 1800's. The original, early strikes tend to be more sharply struck. Also, the metal content is different, nowadays. Report this Post to the Staff
