afornaini Valued Member Italy 91 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 05:02 am Good Morning. I have just bought this Ulysses S. Grant Medal for what I think is a very reasonable price. It is dated 1897, issued by the American Numismatic and Archaeological society, minted by Tiffany & Co. . It portraits on one side President Grant, and on the other side his Mausoleum in New York City. I read that only 500 were minted. It is made of bronze, weights about 130 grams and its diameter is about 64 mm. I don't have any catalog. Do you have more informations on this beautiful medal? Thank you! Here are the pictures: Edited by afornaini 12/16/2012 05:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
