<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 26396552, member: 25270"]I picked these two up this week at my LCS from their unsorted world coins. I had no idea what they were but they looked neat and that's the sort of thing I'm looking for when I do this, so I purchased them for a negligible price (most likely a few bucks). I was trying to figure out what they are. I found a blog that seems to be a match, saying they are George H. Lovett presidential residence medals made in the early 1860s. <a href="https://ghlovett3.blogspot.com/p/historical-presidential.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ghlovett3.blogspot.com/p/historical-presidential.html" rel="nofollow">https://ghlovett3.blogspot.com/p/historical-presidential.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>What I don't know is if mine are original or if these were remade at some point. They have an almost prooflike shine to them, and it seems like the real thing might be worth pretty good money. I can't tell if the photos match the ones in the link above because the lighting is different, and there's no much readily available on Google. Does anyone know anything about these?
