    with the election over (at last!) the next item on the list is the inaugural medal, which will come out sometime in the next couple of months. Does anyone have any information on it?

    I remember last time they tried to change the design after it was already on sale and shipping.

    usually they let the ink get dry on the concession speech before they start the design process.

    Well...

    I"ve got all of them since JFK, and I remember the controversy last time (I have a type one Bush/Cheney) and want to add to my collection.

    Presidential inaugural medals are considered "honorary" US coins and I figure that we'll see at something more creative than the Clinton or Bush ones.

    The Reagan first term one was excellent.

    Obama Inaugural Medal.

    The Medalcraft Mint out of Green Bay Wisconsin produced the two inaugural medals for Bush Jr. They did a fantastic job on them. Im hoping they may get it. Or, maybe Medallic Art, another fine company.
