[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4530062, member: 101855"]One January 20, 2021 a President of the United States will be inaugurated. We don't know who yet, but I thought that it might be interesting to look at some inaugural medals from the past. I was going to display this at the 2020 Summer FUN show, but since that has been canceled, I'll see if I can post it here. The exhibit concentrates on the medals from 1901 to 1961 with some historical background on earlier medals from 1893 and 1897. I selected the 1901 to 1961 period to avoid political controversies. These are the official medals that were issued by the inaugural committees. This gets confusing because the Philadelphia Mint also issues medals which [I]look like[/I] official inaugural medals, except they aren't. Private companies have also gotten into the act. with souvenir pieces. Quite often these items are far smaller than the official medals. The print on these photos is small, probably too small for some of you to read. These are photos I take that help me to set up the exhibit. I never intended them for this purpose. Over time I can post the pictures and text in greater detail if you are interested. This will never be a great exhibit because it is not complete. That’s why I put it together for Summer FUN where there are no prizes. I don’t have the official 1921 Warren G. Harding and 1925 Calvin Coolidge medals, which are quite scarce and expensive. I do have the 1905 Theodore Roosevelt medal by St. Gaudens which is an important item. Okay here goes. More later, if you are interested.
