oving the President Trump medals, and I totally agree Toot would have been very interested in this entry. Missing him! He was a great friend.

Here's another large (45.4 mm in diameter) bronze medal, again with the portrait struck in quite high relief. No maker's mark on this one, though. Fantastic example! |

Nice US Grant medal! One of several produced by the US Mint. Quote:
No maker's mark on this one, though. The medal is US Mint List Medal #633. It was originally struck in 1872; the example shown appears (by its color) to be a 20th century re-strike. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Really liking The President Washington medal.
Also got me curious as to how many presidents have served without pay so I looked it up:
President George Washington
President Herbert Hoover
President John F. Kennedy
President Donal Trump
That's about 1 for every ten elected.

I don't know if there's a unspoken forum etiquette for continuing to post to threads started by a member who's since passed, but since the topic's not been locked, it seems the right place to show this, and in doing so hopefully honor his memory - Very nice die work, 33.6 mm in diameter.   Colligo ergo sum

Amazing how sad I can feel seeing this revived. But am also very thankful b/c it brings back some great memories. Toot and had a lot in common and emailed back and forth daily for quite some time. If it were not for CCF, we would have never met! Thanks for the new addition and for reviving this Lucky . Toot...you were a great friend and greatly missed!

If you ordered the 2022 White House Historical Association Christmas Ornament, there was a limited time offer of a free White House Presidential Challenge Coin:   Challenge Coin collectors will never run out of types / themes to collect. Edited by cptbilly

That is a beautiful medallion. Alway think of Toot who started the thread when my email alerts me to this thread being added to. Still missing him!
