Here is the Lincoln medal. This one was struck sometime before 1900.</p><p><br /></p><p>George Morgan made the dies for this piece in 1886 for reasons that are unknown. There were other Lincoln medals before this one was executed. The diameter of this piece is 76mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>R.W. Julian, who wrote the main reference book for the 19th century U.S. Mint medals wrote this about the piece shown below:</p><p><br /></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>&quot;Some numismatists, including the author of this work, consider the obverse of the Lincoln medal to be one of the finest artistic efforts ever struck at the mint.&quot; </i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1566069[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
