I do a lot of foreign coin searching, and sometimes I come across large medals from various countries.

The 2 I'm looking for info on now are US medals. The first is a George Bush Sr. inaugural medal. The second is a state of california agricultural society medal to H.C. Muddox from 1937. From my research, H.C. Muddox is a brick construction company that was founded in 1878.

My problem is I have no idea of the relative value, or really anything at all, of these coins. I try to make a ROI on the coins I buy, so I'd like to know if anyone can offer any information on these 2 coins. From searching, I haven't found anything on the George Bush coin and have only found info on the company for the California medal.

Here are images of both coins. It should be noted, for the George Bush coin the front and back are aligned, while the California medal the front and back are reversed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

P.S. The text on the California medal is a bit unclear. It reads:

AWARDED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
TO
H.C. Muddox
Grand Champion
Clydesdale Station
1937

One is the award for having the best horses or team in either the state fair or the state horse show for that year.Do a google image search for the BUsh medal it looks like a mint medal.

The California State Agricultural Society Medal is exactly like this one that didn't sell at the recent Holabird Auction 121766647898 note that the description stated "gold plated silver"

The estimate for the lot was $300 to $500 however as you can see there were no bidders at half of the low end estimate.

Since the ebay auction will eventually go away, the lot can be found on this link http://holabirdamericana.com/wp-con...mpressed.pdf (The associated lot #'s are 5355 and 5356)

Thanks for that lot reference. I wonder why it was estimated so high if it wasn't worth even half of the low estimate. I might just contact the company and see if they would want a small piece of their history.
