Message:: [QUOTE="Hookman, post: 7986985, member: 99642"]P&G, if you're referring to the circular raised spot on the reverse, I would disagree, though such a supposition would make sense at first glance.On second glance, if you measure the distance from the center of the copyright mark, to the edge of the rim, and then compare that distance to the distance from the center of the raised circle to the edge of the rim, I think you'll find that they are different, which means that the copyright mark is not related to the raised circle.At first, I thought the same as you and it was only after further study that I realized they are not the same.As of now, I still believe it is a cast piece.I would think that both of your suggestions about why it was done are probably correct.I spent a short time researching the initials found in the circle but didn't discover anything definitive. I'm still very curious about the source of this medallion, for it seems more likely that is what it is.[/QUOTE]
