    Not sure where to put this thread (I’m all ears :)).

    Here are a couple of graded rare medals that I just received from PGCS. One of my favorites. One has a mintage of about 300 (bronze) and the other has a mintage of 13 (silver). Granted, not happy about the UNC details, but at least it is genuine. The silver Emancipation Proclamation is viritually impossible to find. They made 1 gold piece and it is in some museum.

    These are official U.S. mint medals. There were many private medals and tokens minted during this era and earlier. But not many by the official U.S. mint.
