<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 8210622, member: 42773&quot;]So I received that Treasury Award medal yesterday and it&#039;s got a very interesting look - some sort of matte or satin finish, which has been burnished to make the devices stand out from the darkened fields. (Is it struck or cast?) The color is obviously silver, but with enough copper (or something else) to make it look quite different from circulating silver. The area at the bottom of the reverse is reserved for engraving - mine has the name George on it, followed by letters I can&#039;t make out.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s my new favorite piece of exonumia given the unusual fabric and noble devices: Minuteman, Treasury Seal, and Iwo Jima image. Thanks for turning me on to it, [USER=96124]@Heavymetal[/USER]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1440380[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
