GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 05/31/2009 10:13 pm Cool find! Sadly it's not the same as the coin in the auction. Yours looks to be a reissue. They are still collectible and some are worth a nice premium. Mind if I ask how much you paid for it? Report this Post to the Staff
stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 05/31/2009 10:13 pm That's really cool. I doubt Mine would go for something like that I'm not sure when it was struck I have to research the striking characteristics and learn more about these medals before I get too excited about a price like that on mine. Would be cool though. Just means the coin budget goes up. Which is always a good thing EDIT TO ANSWER PRICE: $60.00 Edited by stewart 05/31/2009 10:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/31/2009 10:27 pm Still a very nice looking medal. Are their any markings on the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 06/01/2009 08:15 am Thank You,There are no markings on the rim just smooth, the relief on this just really hits me. I wish the mint could get back to regular coinage that has nice relief. Like the Mercury's. Possibly something like the Peace dollar But with the presses of today would be well stuck relief.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/01/2009 10:51 am Medals typically do have high relief, I know little about these but just happened to do a quick search the other night and posted that link just so we could figure it out. It caught my eye because it is similar to the reverse of the recent Westward Journey "peace" or "handshake" Nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
