Message:: [QUOTE="becky62, post: 449766, member: 15105"]I saw that set on ebay for sale. Did you get that from Magnificent-6? I already have the medal so I didn't go for that one. Congrats! Concerning these medals. There are a set of six, engraved by T. (Tivio?) Johnson and minted by the Medallic Art Company in 1962/63. I am trying to collect all six 3" bronze medals, I only have four so far. The two I am missing are very difficult to find, the St. Gaudens and the V.D.B.  Alan (Johnson) sent me the paperwork for all six of the medals and right now I just lay in wait for the last two I need for the set, wondering if I will ever be lucky enough to obtain them. I'm in touch with Johnsons son (Who is Magnificent-6 on ebay) in hopes of obtaining the other 2. The four I bought were from him as well. He's sold out except for the Ancient Greece medal and the Ted Roosevelt medal, he still has some inventory of these two.  Medallic Art also made these in a smaller size medal (bronze) and a large 3" silver medal. They are extremely well done and very beautiful. Every now and then they come up for sale on ebay but beware, there are also copies out there. Might I mention that they are also very scarce, especially the last two, the St. Gaudens and the V.D.B. These are going to be the most expensive as well. If I were you, I'd hold on to that medal and not sell it unless you have another in hand. Although it's not that expensive right now, it's rare. Artwork like that is difficult to replace. IMHO, you are one of the lucky ones to have posession of that one, keep it. :thumb: I see you also asked what it is worth. To me the T. Johnson medals are priceless. I'd just about pay anything within reason to obtain the last two I need for the set. (Keep in mind I am a collector, not a seller.) The Freedom America Medal that you have, Mr. Johnson prices at around $85. I hope this information has helped you. :smile[/QUOTE]
