After the initial issue of 1,000 bronze pieces was sold out, the Philadelphia Mint struck an additional 2,000 pieces. A small “2” was added to the reverse, at the top of the wreath, on the second issue to distinguish it from the first run of medals.&nbsp; The first issue pieces sell for about $100 more than the second issue medals because of their lower mintage. Most collectors obtain an example of both varieties. Only one gold medal was struck. It was presented the president and is housed in the FDR Library.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
