aalmcc4 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 08/23/2012 1:16 pm I recently visited the Philly Mint's gift shop and they have some bronze or copper (?) medals depicting a number of presidents. They're about silver dollar size. They only had the presntly "less" popular (for lack of better term) Presidents left like Zachary Taylor, Tyler, Calvin Collidge (who I DO think was COOL), Harding etc . I did a google search and tried to find out what they are, when they were minted and for what reason. No real answers. Anybody know? They sell for around $7, don;t seem to be too wonderfuly struck. They're just neat items for a history buff like myself. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/23/2012 2:46 pm Those would be US Mint Presidential bronze medals, they come in 1 5/16" and 3" sizes. The older Presidential medals have been minted for many years and are still minted to demand along with the more current Presidents. http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...tegory=10193 Report this Post to the Staff
