[QUOTE="Davidschwager, post: 2664173, member: 33103"]May I ask for guidance identifying this object? [ATTACH=full]591683[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]591684[/ATTACH] Here are the clues: It comes from a medal collection of mostly art medals, with some US Mint and religious medals included. An estate executor asked me, as a coin researcher, to identify these medals. This is the one I could not figure out. The collection included many works by medalist Alex Shagin This may be a galvano. The collection has three other (what I believe are) galvanos from Jewish American Hall of Fame medals Unlike most galvanos, however, it is two sided. Probably epoxy, which is used in recent galvanos instead of bronze. Width 6 inches / 155 mm Weight 1.5 pounds / 800 grams Of course, I tried a variety of Google searches on various combinations of "Henry Ford" "1903-2003" "medal" "galvano" but no luck finding a match. May I ask if you have further advice on how to find what this is?[/QUOTE]
