MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/01/2008 2:16 pm Anyone have any info on this? I have a whole collection that starts w/ Washington & proceeds until Nixon. I guess that means it was made in the 70's but I can't find any info on them anywhere. Thanks Edited by Sap 12/24/2008 06:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/01/2008 3:11 pm No, it's not either one of those (at least that I saw). Can you check this link? http://s393.photobucket.com/albums/...ken_0001.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/01/2008 3:29 pm That is from a series of US Mint bronze medals. There is also a new Presidential series and Washington appears to be the same but the reverse is different. Interestingly enough another Mint medal utilizes the reverse of yours, it celebrates the bicentennial of the Mint Unfortunately, I cannot tell you much more about your medal that that. They are probably not worth much but the current price from the Mint for a 1 5/16" medal is $3.50 and the 3" size is $38. Report this Post to the Staff
MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 2:48 pm This is really starting to bother me. I can't find a direct match for these tokens ANYWHERE. The closest I can find is here :http://www.coinland.com/item_info.a...egory_id=354 , but they're still not the same. The reverses don't match up w/ the ones I have. One more try to see if anyone has seen anything on these before? Report this Post to the Staff

They were issued as a first day cover complete with stamps and a brief history card. Similar to this one: Report this Post to the Staff
MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 7:07 pm Hmmm, interesting. Where do you find a checklist for them & do they have any value at all? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 8:05 pm They have some value to collectors of stamps and/or medals, I'm seem them sell on the internet from $10-15.00. I haven't come across any checklist for them. Report this Post to the Staff
