TheDuke New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/20/2010 5:07 pm I am quite new to coin collecting & have been going through a collection left to me by my father. I came across this Eisenhower coin & can't identify it. All help is appreciated. Please note that the coin is in a plastic case. Not all of the impurities are on the coin, but the plastic.

omahaorange Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 09/20/2010 7:27 pm I found this: http://viewitem.eim.ebay.eu/1969_Pr...0633492/item I do know Eisenhower died in 1969, and suspected this was not a coin, but a commemorative medal of some sort. The link to the auction provides a little info about what you have. It's priced at $30 USD. Report this Post to the Staff

TheDuke New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/20/2010 7:58 pm Omaha, thanks! I couldn't find a thing. I can only imagine that it is authentic. Like I said, it came from my fathers collection that is mostly late 60's / early 70's. Report this Post to the Staff
omahaorange Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 09/20/2010 9:17 pm Not a whole lot of references for this specific medal. The ebay link I posted gives a brief history of it. There are numerous mentions of both Karen Worth and The Medallic Art Company. They are still in business, a private mint. I have to assume the medal TheDuke posted is genuine. It is not an issue of the US Mint, but rather, a private mint. Edited by omahaorange 09/20/2010 9:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
