<p>[QUOTE="commidaddy, post: 562868, member: 15344"]ok so I'm not sure if there are many people that collect U.S. medals, but I found something in my grandpa's basement that I just wanted a little more info about.

[QUOTE="commidaddy, post: 562868, member: 15344"]ok so I'm not sure if there are many people that collect U.S. medals, but I found something in my grandpa's basement that I just wanted a little more info about. I'm sure it's not worth anything, but I just found it interesting. Sorry no pics, but I'll do my best to describe it: Just SLIGHTLY larger than a kennedy half dollar Pictured on obverse, of course, is Abraham Lincoln, with Abraham on the left running along the border of the medal and Lincoln on the right. on the reverse, it has a wreath wrapping the outside, with the words: Inaugurated President Of The United States March 4, 1861. Second Term March 4, 1865 - . - Assassinated April 14, 1865. It is also gold in color and features a beaded band just inside the rim on both the obverse and reverse. Anyway, I'm guessing it was probably made sometime between 1985 and 1990 or so? Thanks![/QUOTE]
