<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4231997, member: 97383&quot;]Medals are the highest form of numismatic art. Collectors who love art love medals. Medals give an artist-sculptor freedom that circulating coinage doesn&#039;t offer. He isn&#039;t restrained by size, subject matter, depth of relief or style. Pictured below are some of my favorite medals, some of which have been posted before <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1082116[/ATTACH] </p><p>Pan-American Conference of 1901, Mexico City Mint, Bronze: 65.59 gm, 60 mm.
