Here are the pictures I promised.

First picture is John Quincy Adams and Jefferson. The Mint mark on the Adams medal is just under the T of STATES.

Next we have President Harrison and Jefferson. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as to where they put it.

Next we have Harding and Regan. Ronnie's mint mark is behind his neck. I was hurrying to do these pictures and I guess it shows. I need to work on getting the lighting right.

OK, Duvivier definitely did not design the medals for Warren Harding and Ronald Reagan

Edward J,

Thank you for taking the time to post the pictures. Well, as you said in your very first post, the Ds are there. Based upon the dimpling around the D, the varied placement, the fact that all of the Presidential Medals were minted in Philadelphia, and the fact that the U.S. Mint says there are no mint marks on these medals, I'm convinced the U.S. Mint didn't put them there. But, who did and what was the intent? This is still a mystery.

Even though I know this is an old thread I wanted to go ahead and post this new information for future knowledge. We have had a notes to staff from a new member that said he ordered a set of these in 2001 and at that time they minted these medals in Philadelphia and Denver, so the ones with the D under the bust would have came from Denver. He says he has paper work to prove it. I have emailed him to get him to either post the information in this thread or email it to me and I will post it myself for him

Edit: The member has sent me the manifest and it clearly states that the medals were both minted in Denver and Philadelphia so I am sure this is what is going on here. This is page 5 and I am guessing the GW medal would be on page 1 I just uploaded this one to prove that they did in fact mint them at both mints when these were made

If you look at he 4th one up you will see the Ronald Regan medal (like the one above) with the D Mint mark listed

Here are some images from an old (circa mid-70s) US Mint brochure that not only lists the Denver Mint strikes for the Presidential Series, but also Gold-Plated with and without a loop!
