[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1041895, member: 19065"]From the collection you have of these, could you tell us which is the most recent President you have? When does your collection stop in order of Presidents? Also, on the reverse side, with the seal, is there a word under the eagle's talon holding the olive branch on the left side? Are there any engravers initials anywhere on the pieces? Are there any markings on the edge side of the coin, any edge lettering? Is the edge smooth or reeded (like a quarter's edge)? What would you say the metal looks like in person? I do not think these are silver but they may have been brass or bronze. From the one of Lincoln, there seems to be some traces of yellowish plating or polished brass left in the flat fields of the medallion. +++ I found one other medallion from this series on some auction/classifieds web site. It is [URL="http://www.tace.com/i/36388.html"][B]an FDR medallion[/B][/URL]. The image looks much more yellow-ish like brass.
