Message:: [QUOTE="satootoko, post: 10738, member: 669"]Obviously not, with the reverse dates.  That was the first year of Washington's first term, immediately following ratification of the Constitution. It doesn't seem to be a U.S. Mint medal, as it is not listed <a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/wcs/wcs_command_nc/0,,cginame_a=Mint_Search,00.html?merchant_rn=1000&search_rn=1991039&product_rn=&quantity=1&url=%2Fwebapp%2Fcommerce%2Fcommand%2FExecMacro%2Fsearchresult.d2w%2Freport&tabtype=P&page=1&page_size=30&category_rn=1&kw=washington&wc=1&ic=0&w0=WASHINGTON&w1=WASHINGTON" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/wcs/wcs_command_nc/0,,cginame_a=Mint_Search,00.html?merchant_rn=1000&search_rn=1991039&product_rn=&quantity=1&url=%2Fwebapp%2Fcommerce%2Fcommand%2FExecMacro%2Fsearchresult.d2w%2Freport&tabtype=P&page=1&page_size=30&category_rn=1&kw=washington&wc=1&ic=0&w0=WASHINGTON&w1=WASHINGTON" rel="nofollow">here</a> or <a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/wcs/wcs_command/0,,cginame_a=CategoryDisplay&querystring=cgnbr;7511+cgmenbr;1000,00.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/wcs/wcs_command/0,,cginame_a=CategoryDisplay&querystring=cgnbr;7511+cgmenbr;1000,00.html" rel="nofollow">here (3rd item)</a> It's probably from one of the many private mints that do "collectible" series.  I don't see any hallmarks or engraver initials, but you should check the edge for a possible incuse inscription.  If it is gold, it's worth at least the melt value - if it's just a gold-colored base metal, it probably isn't worth more than a couple of bucks.<img src="http://sc.communities.msn.com/themes/pby/img/emoticons/emcry.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
