<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1512381, member: 19423&quot;]Got this really neat Lincoln medal recently from a fellow coin club member.&nbsp; You can see the size of it as I have the edge of a cent in the lower corner of the photo.&nbsp; I thought the medal was silver, but based on some wear at the top of the flag on the reverse, it appears to be a bronze medal that was silver plated.&nbsp; In any event, it&#039;s a really cool looking medal with a younger image of Lincoln on the obverse and a nude man (Lincoln again?) and topless woman carrying the flag as they fly over the Capitol.&nbsp; Not sure when it was made but it was likely done for either the 1909 centennial of Lincoln&#039;s birth or perhaps for one of the Grand Army of the Republic reunions around that time... perhaps 1915 for the 50th anniversary of the end of the Civil War.&nbsp; I have been able to find out the medal is referenced as King-783.&nbsp; Anyone else know anything about this medal?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/lincolnmedalsilvero.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/lincolnmedalsilverr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
