<p>[QUOTE=&quot;predcarn, post: 144220, member: 6000&quot;]I did try to find a photo of the medal that Eastman was awarded at the</p><p>1933 world fair, thinking it might have a similarity. I could not find that </p><p>specific medal, but other medals of that fair that had &quot;indian&quot; motif was entirely different and more formal, with lettering on&nbsp; both sides.&nbsp; Also,</p><p>I checked Judd and my other pattern&nbsp; books and&nbsp; nothing&nbsp; even close</p><p>were&nbsp; mentioned or illustrated.&nbsp; As you said it was about the thickness </p><p>of a nickel, the image seems to be very &quot;high&quot; like the 1921 peace dollar</p><p>and would be hard to press IMO. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Photos sometimes make it difficult to assess as to whether it is cast</p><p>or pressed by dies. Do you see any thing to lead you to think one or the</p><p>other? If casted, then it is surely a token/souvenir/art project/or fantasy</p><p>piece. I vote for a nongovernment issue.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But who cares!! It is a beautiful piece and I would certainly love one also. You could dedicate a lot of research into this piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would love to know if you ever authenicate its origin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
