[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 2690894, member: 4910"]I located a Token and Medal Society (TAMS) article about the Denman Medals, "The Denman Grammar School Medals of San Francisco" by Michael Wehner, TAMS Journal September/October 2011, which had information on where the Bridge medals were struck. The medals were first struck from 1879 to 1890 at the Philadelphia Mint. In 1890 the Mint stopped striking private medals and shipped the dies to San Francisco. From 1891 to 1906 they were struck at Albert Kuner's firm using these dies. Kuner died in early 1906 and later an earthquake destroyed his firm's shop, dies, and records. From 1907 to 1915 they were struck at Robert Schaezlein's firm using new dies he created. The bronze medal could have been struck at the Philadelphia Mint or by Kuner in San Francisco to test the dies received from the Mint. :)[/QUOTE]
