U.S. Presidential Medals

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I didn't know where else to put it.

This isn't what I typically collect, but I couldn't pass it up for $15 (local auction). Given it's size, it's not well suited for storage. Each medal is 15/16". . . Anyone have suggestions for storage (by breaking down the current display) or a way to present it in a way that doesn't take up so much space?

I was thinking about individual air-tites, but can't find any in this size.

Airtites with the foam type gaskets should work for you.

 

What are the made of? The expense of airtites may not be worth it.

 

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. But I just joined this forum and cannot see where I can create a post.

 

find out how wide millimeter wise these medals are. they make a airtite for every size.

 

They didn't like Lyndon Johnson.

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood!

You don't have to apologize. CT doesn't have a forum dedicated for medals and tokens. This forum or Coin Chat will do.

THANKS,

found this coin in a europe farmhouse, trying to get any info on what it is?
Any help would be great..thanks

 

I think 15/16" = 23.812 mm.

Bronze I believe.

 

Scratch the bronze. Here's a screenshot of the Mint's website.

 

Not sure how much help this is, but here's a link for you. https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/479862

You need to create your very own separate thread. It has nothing to do with a US coins.
Try the Ancient Coin forum here on CoinTalk
Your find has nothing to do with the Presidential items in question.

 

In my opinion... they look great the way they are displayed! Get that whole set framed and hang it on your wall.

 

@paddyman98 I thought about that and you may have just convinced me to do it. Now, are you able to talk to my wife about hanging it in the family room?

 

If that is a problem you need a new family room, a new family, or a new hobby. Your choice.

 

They're usually 33.4mm or about 1 5/16" diameter and bronze, unless they made another size as well. I have ike Lincoln and one the Kennedy mint did with the presidential seal. That's a nice set. I'd go with @paddyman98 s suggestion and frame it.

 

@sakata I talk tough like that too, so long as the wife can't hear me!

To be clear, my wife's a sweetheart. She loves my bike and "supports" my coins.

 

Typo?
