The original medal, designed by Augustin Dupre, was struck in Paris in 1789 to honor Daniel Morgan, stolen from a bank vault in 1818 and never recovered, restruck in 1839, bought by J.P. Morgan around 1885, and not seen since. It reappeared in recent months in its original US Mint case. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">The SP63 grade makes me chuckle a little...</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">[ATTACH=full]1461190[/ATTACH] </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
