Celebrate Presidents Day: Post Your Favorite President Related Coin, Medal, or Token

DrDarryl

For those of you that follow the federal holiday schedule at work, February 15th is Presidents Day, making this a three-day weekend! Lets celebrate US Presidents by posting your favorite president related coin, medal, or token.

My President John F. Kennedy appreciation medal. Manufactured by the US Mint. Mintage 300. Designed by Frank Gasparro. One had to earn the gratitude of JFK to receive this medal.

Here's some presidential trivia for you....

When George HW Bush was elected in 1988, he was the first sitting vice president to be elected president since Martin Van Buren in 1836.

Can there be a better pair of Presidents on one medal? Father of our country and the son who preserved it.

An original Washington Before Boston medal:

This medal was issued in connection with the North Western Sanitary Fair, which was held after Lincoln's death. These pieces are often seen beaten up for whatever reason. This one is unusually nice.

This piece appears on the flyleaf of the go-to reference book for 19th century U.S. medals, "Medals of the United States Mint, The First Century 1792 - 1892."

If two is good, how about three?

• Father = Washington
• Saviour = Lincoln
• Defender = Grant

Not a coin, medal or token, but rather a freaking cool plaquette
