[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 5173028, member: 114169"]I'm not sure these are widely known, but the "So-Called Dollar guy, Jeff Shevlin, conscripted Dan Carr of Moonlight Mint to create a 100th anniversary restrike of the HK-449/450, 1920 Manila Mint Opening commemorative medal. Using the original 1920 US Mint Woodrow Wilson President obverse die and a 2020 redesigned Manila Mint reverse die, these medals pay tribute to the only overseas mint in US history. Medals are being made in a variety of metals - gold, silver, copper, brass, nickel, aluminum, and tin. I was fortunate enough to have acquired the following. [B]Nickel [ATTACH=full]1211262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211264[/ATTACH] Brass [ATTACH=full]1211263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211266[/ATTACH] Copper [ATTACH=full]1211267[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211261[/ATTACH] And Silver Select (silver w/gold gilt) [ATTACH=full]1211260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211265[/ATTACH] [/B] Per typical Moonlight Mint releases, mintages of individual types remain limited. The medal struck in gold weighs in at 1.6 troy ounces with a mintage of only 9 pieces. Here are a couple photos of the original 1920 Wilson / Manila Mint Dollar. [ATTACH=full]1211313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211315[/ATTACH] Using the original obverse die and with only small changes to the reverse die (date changed to 2020 and "Opening" changed to "Anniversary") this tribute medal captures all the beauty and appeal of the original. I thought you might like to see these. Z[/QUOTE]
