halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 6:16 pm I assume this was a gas station giveaway and carries no premium, but I bought it because I thought I could make out the name 'Barber' at the base of the bust and the fact that there was a "D" mark on the obverse, which obviously might mean anything at all...anyone tell me what you know so I can know it too--thanks!

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/01/2008 09:03 am I am pretty sure that it is a US Mint medal. I have a Lincoln medal that is very similar to yours with an ornate bust on obverse and an inauguration wreath on the reverse. Mine does not have a D on the obverse and the reverse wreath is a bit different but the similarities are striking. I purchased my Lincoln Medal at the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in Springfield, IL as a kid almost 25 years ago. Fortunately, mine has survived in the original US Mint embossed cello so its origin is obvious. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of it right now but I will try to take one later this evening for comparison and I will get some dimensions for you as well. I can tell you that it larger than a half dollar but smaller than a silver dollar. Edited by biokemist6 02/01/2008 09:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
