JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 07/30/2024 6:16 pm I've had this extremely nice set of aluminum Presidential medals for a long time now and I still don't know anything about them. They go from Washington through Johnson (1st- 36th Presidents) but there's no end date on Johnson's medal so I figure these were produced in the early 1960's but there's not any identifying mint or brand marks on any of them so I don't have a clue who minted them. Any help identifying these would be greatly appreciated!!! Report this Post to the Staff

These have similar obverses to the promotional tokens issued for The Shell Game that were given out at Shell Stations across the nation for filling up with gas, but those have "The Shell Game" on the reverse...

JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 08/02/2024 09:46 am I thought I had looked at each medal individually over time, but apparently I did not....Eureka! I found a clue! Every medal's reverse is more of the same except for one....Abe Lincoln. Check it: And now the wife is dragging me furniture shopping for our new house we're building. So I'll have to continue my research later... Report this Post to the Staff
