@willieboyd2 It is a nice medal, but I don't think it is a trial piece. Such medals, like the image of the silver medal you've posted, were...
Oh sure! That's like saying that a coin kept in a vacuum will never tone. But, how many coins are kept in a vacuum. It is also assuming that ALL...

Ten years ago, it was very easy to navigate the entire Mint website and access whatever information you needed. Now, every time I try to reference...
And, we were the ones who @Cascade called ignorant in another thread. Chris
Very cool! How did you acquire it? Chris
I like the Seated Half the best. Chris
I am being civil. I answered your original question with my opinion. Can I help it if others don't like it? Chris
