<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 3064458, member: 19765"]Appreciate the response LordM! My bad, forgot to post a pic of what the man minted back in 1875 and beyond so here's a pic. The man lived in Philly and was an employee of the US Mint. See link below for more information as the Secret Service once put a stop to his selling of the medals. Also, I included a pdf with 3 of his patents in 1894. He minted a slew of 13mm medals, like the pic plus other's with current Presidents at the time and Presidents who had died previously. The man lived down the street from US Mint at the time at on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. He also made a 13mm medal of the design I'm talking about, but it wasn't gold filled. I'm thinking, he may have gone down to 10mm because this one is gold filled. Anyone have any thoughts or comments?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]769063[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v11n44a11.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v11n44a11.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v11n44a11.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
