I'm not sure I know what you mean by "legal tender" issue. ~ Chris
You're comparing apples to oranges. The First Spouse series had a denomination of $10. All of the bullion coins had varying denominations. Medals...
Trust me! It's part of the clash. If you don't believe me, ask John @messydesk ~ Chris
The upper lip is part of the clash, too. It's from the last bunch of leaves on the left edge of the righthand wreath. I used to own numerous...
I don't think the Red Book lists any medals or medallions that were made by the US Mint. The Wildlife Series isn't and the Bicentennial Medals...

Great! Why don't you buy NGC or PCGS and I'll be the first to sign up. ;) Crack-outs would be illegal! :greedy: ~ Chris
Probably not! The Army is a BIG organization. I was in 1969-1971. ~ Chris
I don't want to be congratulated. This is not about who knows what. Yeah, I got a little irritated over a couple of your comments, and I regret...
Like I mentioned before, "Bing SUCKS!" I would love to learn more about this publication even though I don't specialize in Napoleonic medals, but...
It's too bad that the obverse doesn't look more like the reverse. It would be a 66 or better. I'm in the 63 camp. ~ Chris
