ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 07/12/2012 11:36 pm I have been wondering if there is really much of a following for the medals that the mint puts out each year. Is there a secondary market for them at all? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/12/2012 11:55 pm I have a collection of the mint's 1&5/16 Presidential bronze medals through GWB. I started the set back in my youth, and refreshed it last year. Report this Post to the Staff

If the metal disc doesn't have a denomination on it, most collectors will ignore it, even if the design is beautiful. Most secondary market prices are usually far below issue price.

Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 07/14/2012 9:53 pm Hard to say, generally the 1 5/16" (34mm) and the silver dollar size (38mm) medals haven't held their value. They tend to tone if kept in the cellophane like copper pennies do, and can be had for a few dollars apiece. The quality really varies on the small duplicates, whereas the 3" vapor blasted medals are outstanding. Both the New Frontiers and the Nisei/442nd medals are great examples of exceptional medallic art and I'm looking forward to seeing the Monfort Point medals to see if I want one. Generally on ebay, the 3" medals of popular subjects sell for issue price or above that if exceptionally clean. Report this Post to the Staff
