    Just read that Künker will auction "the" Plattsburgh medal at their Berlin auction right before the World Money Fair in February. See page 94 of the WMF catalog for an interesting background article.

    "As part of its Berlin Auction 285, the auction house Künker offers a Congressional Gold Medal. This is no medal like any other, but the one President Madison handed personally to Alexander Macomb, the Hero of Plattsburgh. We are telling his story."
