Hi guys,
I thought this is so cool looking.
Does anyone know who the portrait is of and what company this is from?
Thanks
It even has a tone.

It's a bit out of focus, but my first thought was Ike with a little more hair than we are used to seeing on him.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Yes, my first thoughts, as well.

A quick Google shows several ebay and coin shops selling the same bar calling it an Ike 25 gram. No manufacturer listed. But US made.
Oh?
Thanks
The weight is so weird. They couldn't of added 6 more grams?

Yeah it is weird. Wonder if it was for a special date marking the 25th something?

This website says Kennedy Mint. But can't find any further info.
