Grant Peace Medal

I'm sure this is fake but thought it was a bit cool.

either way, real or fake, nice piece.

 

I don't know if it is fake or not. Have you asked BillJones on the NGC forums about it? I believe he collects vintage Presidential medals.

I would suggest you pose your question to the Token & Medal Society for more information.

 

Looks like they got "cheap" with the medals in later years. Who did the reverse? Doonesbury?

 

I know very little about it. It was just one of those things that came up and I had to have it. I'm a nut over counterfeit stuff and it looked like something that belonged in my collection. Yes, I know I'm sick. I may ask Bill about it.

It was sold as a counterfeit, along with others, in the Stack's auction of the John Ford Collection.
I bought it in Jeremy's last charity cancer auction and felt good paying stupid money to own it.

 

It is still a cool piece!

 

Actually they tended to be fairly crude in the early years. By the time of Grant they were usually very nice.
