<p>[QUOTE="nam71, post: 604337, member: 16894"]Where can I find info on a Mint Medal? I need to find out if the medal I have is the one I have seen in one reference. It is the 1871 Emancepation Proclamation Lincoln medal. It belonged to a uncle who died in 1968 and my aunt received it , along with his coin collection. About 20 years ago she gave it to me. She had already sold most of his coins, at a fraction of their worth. I have tried to find info over the years but nothing. Tonight I was looking at the latest issue of the digital Coin World and saw an artical about this medal. It showed a picture of both the obverse and reverse of the medal. It is exactly like mine. BTW mine is bronze. There was very little info about the medal , but there mention of there being 366 bronze medals minted. BTW this medal was designed by Barber. I have never been able to learn how to post pictures so I can't show you the one I have. Sorry. Does anyone have any info on this medal or can tell me where I can find info? Did anyone read the artical in Coin World? Sorry this is so long. Sonny[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
