Two things about this trio intrigue me.
First, the depiction of Lincoln with what looks like an 18th century pigtail (as Washington wore).
Second, the annotation incorporated into one specimen, "TREAS. DEPT. 1869" which I'd take as being possibly a property mark.
Perhaps these are prototypes of a medal that the U.S. Mint was considering striking?
