<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25456231, member: 101855&quot;]The problem was the Philadelphia Mint never made a copy of the Libertas medal in the 19th century. It also did not produce an example of the John Stuart medal which was awarded to that almost unknown Revolutionary War hero. As a result, it is almost impossible for a collector to get a representative example of that piece in a set of Comitia Americana medals. Those medals were the basis for the America’s First Medals set you mentioned. </p><p><br /></p><p>An example of the John Steward medal brought almost $1 million in the same auction where I bought the Jefferson medal. I estimated that it would sell for $500 thousand, but that guess was way off. I believe that piece is the only John Stuart medal that is in private hands.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
