It was instituted in 1841 to protect against (what else!) counterfeit medals. The mintmark was stamped into the edge of each medal, and there were several designs used over the next 40 years until it was decided to use the Cornucopia as the permanent mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope we can still be friends. ~ Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
