To commemorate the event, the U.S. Mint struck a large quantity of medals in brass, and distributed the medals to the public. White metal examples were also struck, and Julian (1977) states one example was made in silver, unaccounted for today. In gold alloy, CM-18 is extremely rare, and just two are known (per Rulau). The present well-struck and handsome yellow-gold piece has flashy fields and provides excellent eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1269318[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1269317[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1269319[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
